Sometimes, walking along small roads through the countryside that offer a suggestive glimpse with the constant presence of olive trees that have resisted various diseases for centuries, crossing some of the places so dear to our memory precisely because they convey memories of a time gone by, it happens as often happens that we stop in front of a small port, with a few small boats moored and fishermen intent on repairing their nets; the context seems almost like a depiction of a famous painting, but representing the surrounding reality of an area so rich in charm and culture as the Salento. We are at Marina di Andrano, in the province of Lecce, in the deep south of a land forgotten by time, where every little gesture of daily life brings back memories and feelings of a not so distant past. The Porticciolo della Botte is all of this, a small harbour carved out of the rock to provide shelter for small fishing boats, light years away from modern docks with large jetties equipped with water columns, electricity supply and everything else a wealthy clientele might need. This small harbour is also the emblem of a land, simple but fortunate people considering the beauty of the landscape, who bathe in this water that maintains constant clarity and that unusual freshness due to the presence of freshwater springs that make this sea a panacea for our bodies. The Porticciolo della Botte is ideal for families with children as the water is shallow and sheltered from the waves even when the sea is a bit rough, so parents can be quiet and sit somewhere for a chat with friends. This small harbour is located at the end of the seafront promenade of Marina di Andrano, and here you can breathe an air of absolute relaxation. If you are looking for a quiet holiday and would like to enjoy a beautiful panorama as only the Adriatic Sea can offer, you have found the right place. Enjoy your summer at Porticciolo della Botte in Marina di Andrano.
