Everyone knows the Salento for its beautiful beaches and its views, for the goodness of local cuisine and the charm of its many traditions. But few may know that the Salento is also famous for many other aspects, which are revealed to visitors especially during the numerous festivities spread inland. We are talking about the incredible interplay of light of the illuminations, also called villas: these little colored lights which cover entire buildings as waterfalls, churches, streets and squares, forming unique settings can keep their eyes upward everyone from the largest to the smallest.
