The split mountain is encountered along the coast road that connects Santa Maria al Bagno to Gallipoli in Puglia. This characteristic rock that falls into the sea is split into two parts and is crossed in full by the provincial road, hence the name Montagna Spaccata (split mountain). The place is a true wonder, a stretch of coastline characteristic for its wide cliffs and crystal blue sea. Perhaps not exactly suitable for families looking for the comforts of a lido, perhaps with children in tow, the Montagna Spaccata is nonetheless a respectable stop if you come to the Salento. A dip in these cool waters will fully repay your decision to stop even for a moment for a selfie to be immortalised and enclosed among your most precious memories... the magic of these places... this is the Salento.
