The perfect balance of beaches and culture make Lecce the ideal vacation destination!
Linda invites Sen over to tell her all about her hometown, and with her words she paints us a picture of lavishly decorated Baroque buildings and hidden treasures: from the profile of a woman in a facade, to the “labirinto di piccole strade”, a winding maze of alleys in the heart of the city. There’s so much to discover! What does a “caffè leccese” taste like? How is the “festa di Sant'Oronzo” celebrated? And what does it have to do with the “living room of the city”? It's hard to believe that this city of culture is nestled in the paradise between “il Mar Ionio” and “il Mar Adriatico”!
