So, we checked out of our hotel this morning reluctantly. I think of all the hotels we stayed at this one was the best. Last night after a long hit day walking through Lecce we sat by the pool cooling off when suddenly the owner appeared with bowls full of melon and salty snacks for us. This hospitality was typical of our entire stay and we got very comfortable here.

So we packed our bags and hopped in the car with one more stop Alberobello.

This small town is famous for its trullo buildings . These small huts built entirely by stacking blocks and stones together without mortar have been built this way since the 1400s. Apparently, there was a tax on permanent buildings but if the structures were without mortar they couldn’t be taxed

Not much has changed here in Italy !

Really fascinating landscape as you walked through the village . No wonder UNESCO declared it a world heritage site
