Riserva Naturale Le Cesine
Salento, Torre Specchia Ruggeri - Melendugno: The Cesine Nature Reserve is a protected natural area located in the Vernole area, in the province of Lecce. We are on the eastern side of Salento, along a characteristic stretch of coastline washed by the Adriatic Sea where sandy stretches alternate with low cliffs, all immersed in the green of the typical Mediterranean scrub that colours much of the surrounding area. Here, nature has given its best, designing an enchanting landscape where a multitude of animal species ranging from birds to reptiles, from fish to insects, have found their ideal habitat, adapting to a landscape completely detached from the hand of man. The Cesine Nature Reserve represents a naturalistic oasis of all respect, highly recommended for those who wish to escape from the daily grind of the big cities and take refuge in this wonderful nature reserve for a relaxing and scenic experience. For lovers of nature trails, the Cesine lend themselves willingly as the entire area is characterised by paths in close contact with uncontaminated nature; in the oasis there are two ponds that are fed by the rains each season and are separated from the sea by a suggestive cordon of sand dunes. Losing oneself in this experience in an explosion of natural colours that see clusters of red berries or the green of the pine forests with all the scents of aromatic herbs accompanying our relaxing walk is an emotion that has no equal. The Cesine Nature Reserve is managed by the WWF and has as its symbol the pochard, a diving duck found in the oasis" ponds. When nature replaces the hand of man, it generates a unique spectacle. If you come to visit this reserve, do so on tiptoe, with due respect, and bring back the rubbish bags at the end of the day. Greetings from the Cesine.
Torre Specchia Ruggeri
Salento, Torre Specchia Ruggeri - Melendugno: In the municipality of Melendugno, in the town of Torre Specchia Ruggeri stands this beautiful example of a 16th-century tower that towers a few metres from the sea and is about 5 metres high. Torre Specchia Ruggeri is part of the complex watchtower system erected during the 16th century to defend the entire Salento coast from the continuous incursions of Saracen pirates; the tower communicated to the south with Torre San Foca and to the north with Torre San Cataldo, the latter having completely disappeared. Today Torre Specchia Ruggeri appears to be in a state of complete abandonment and the signs of some structural changes that the tower has undergone over time are visible from its current shape. From the top of this evocative promontory there is a wonderful panorama and the entire stretch of coastline in question retains that uncontaminated appearance; Torre Specchia Ruggeri is easily reached by travelling along that stretch of coastline from San Cataldo to San Foca.
Le Ficherelle
Salento, Torre Specchia Ruggeri - Melendugno: Le Ficherelle is a stretch of public beach located in Torre Specchia Ruggeri, a marina in the municipality of Melendugno that has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag award several times in the past for the clarity and cleanliness of its wonderful sea. We are on the eastern coast of this magnificent land called Salento, and going up the coast from Torre Specchia Ruggeri to the marina of San Cataldo we come across this beautiful beach that is little frequented even in high season and almost the Cinderella compared to the other more famous beaches on the Adriatic coast. The modestly sized beach blends with the greenery of the typical Mediterranean maquis in a naturalistic embrace worthy of note; the crystal-clear sea is shallow for long stretches and has a few small rocks that do not cause any discomfort whatsoever. Le Ficherelle beach is frequented by both families and people looking to relax and enjoy a well-deserved day at the beach by bathing in these regenerating waters and then lying under the warm rays of the Salento sun for a perfect tan. Scent of true summer at Ficherelle, happy holidays.
