It is a small apartment in the center of the village of Triggiano. It is well located and well equipped. The negative point of this apartment is the cleanliness and the smell of cigarette. We stay there only one night. It is our last night in Puglia.

In the alleys of Bari Vecchia you will certainly come across women making artisanal pasta in the street. It is a surprising sight.
We take a tour in the Basilica of San Nicola. It is an emblematic site of Bari, where the relics of Saint Nicholas are venerated. The Romanesque building is impressive and its interior atmosphere, serene and mystical.
A few minutes walk away, we find the Castello Svevo di Bari. It is a medieval castle dating back to the 12th century. It is a fascinating testimony to the military history of Bari.

In total, we traveled 1,150 km. We loved Puglia with its villages, beaches, sun and especially with its inhabitants.
It is a region that is both touristic and rural. It is authentic and full of life.
Puglia is definitely a good place to spend a holiday between beach, relaxation and visits.
We leave Puglia after an unforgettable stay, feeling both gratitude and nostalgia. We leave with, already, a kind of melancholy. This region, with its varied landscapes ranging from beaches to hills dotted with olive trees, surprised and amazed us at every moment. We tasted local dishes, exchanged with warm locals, and admired magnificent landscapes and monuments. We will gladly return to lose ourselves again in this quiet beauty.
