The Bay of Sant"Andrea is an inlet overlooking the Adriatic Sea, amid steep cliffs, sea caves, and characteristic grottos, all worthy of a visit both for their beauty and for the charm they hold. We are in the heart of the Salento, on the eastern coast, where the dawn rises and manifests itself in an explosion of colours and hopes for a land full of surprises that offers glimpses of a land waiting to be discovered. Glimpses of impervious terrain accompany us on our walk before we reach the end of the coastline, where nature unfolds in all its beauty, through the green of the dense Mediterranean scrub, nature trails, juniper, wild rosemary and other plants typical of the area; until we reach the edge of this immense white rocky ridge, when a heavenly panorama opens up before our eyes, with the clear blue sea encompassing every single rock, large or small, in its immensity. Real natural pools colour this beautiful stretch of coastline. Looking around, people seem as if surprised and amazed, perhaps enraptured by so much beauty that only the Salento so generously knows how to offer. A dive where the water is bluest, Battisti sang a few years ago, but here in Sant"Andrea we are spoilt for choice. Fresh, clear water invites us to dive into these beautiful waters, which have been awarded Blue Flags several times for their clarity. One among many is the Mbruficu Cave, an enormous rock with an unusual rectangular shape, with an immense green beard due to the wind that has carried the typical Mediterranean vegetation up to the top of this rock, and which preserves a beautiful cave that looks like the mouth of a large fish; It is not very deep as a cave, but it holds a charm and beauty that are manifested through a series of colours ranging from green, yellow, white and brown and draw a marvellous place; take the opportunity to take a selfie to immortalise a magical moment of your holiday. These places are corners of paradise, and it is difficult to find the words to describe a spectacle of nature of these proportions; you have to experience them live, feel the freshness of the sea, the transparency of the seabed, and grasp all the whims of a nature that has had fun creating the Bay of Sant"Andrea... Have a good summer.
