The Salina dei Monaci di Torre Colimena is a natural oasis of rare beauty that deserves our full attention. Situated along the stretch of coastline that connects Torre Colimena to Punta Prosciutto, this corner of paradise is now a Regional Nature Reserve thanks to its environmental characteristics that see the presence of compatible ecosystems as well as the constant presence of migratory bird species, including the beautiful pink flamingos; they can be admired in flight with their characteristic long necks or while they are calmly in the water inside the natural basin. This area is the jewel in the crown of a nature trail rich in indigenous species ranging from the extensive Mediterranean scrub to the high sand dunes and the presence of a small salt pond where absolute peace reigns among the various animal species and the human presence even seems superfluous; even a simple lizard poses for a shot, such is the tranquillity one breathes in close contact with the surrounding nature. Walking through the different paths along the wooden fences positioned to guide you along the different routes, you will feel enraptured by the beauty of the place, and the scent of the strawberry trees combined with the other wild plant species will fully repay your decision to stop even for a moment to admire this wonderful area. The Salina is known as the Salina dei Monaci because in the past this area fell under the jurisdiction of the Benedictine monks who managed the entire area. Today this earthly paradise is the pride of the entire Salento, completely recovered and reclaimed from the neglect of man, who in years gone by decided to cross it by building a provincial road right along this stretch of coastline. The beauties of our beloved Apulia never cease to amaze if you pass this way, don"t forget the Salina dei Monaci, but with the right respect and on tiptoe as nature asks... happy holidays!
