The verse of a song in the Salento dialect often resonates with me as a tune when I talk to someone about my beautiful land and it goes : (Cinca lu vide nde lassa lu core cinca lu lassa se sonna lu mare) which translated would be he who sees it leaves us his heart and he who leaves it dreams of the sea, obviously speaking of Salento. Well these verses come back to me in a split second now that I am about to write something about a remote and lonely place as Baia delle Orte can be. We are on the southeastern side of the Heel of Italy along these beautiful coasts washed by the Adriatic Sea that are intertwined with the green of the surrounding nature between the uninterrupted pine forests that always come in handy in the height of summer for shaded areas, the typical Mediterranean scrub that arises spontaneously a bit "everywhere almost to mark the belonging to its territory and dulcis in fundo the crystal blue of these waters that touch deep in the soul each of us; here is precisely explained in all its essence the prologue with reference to the verses of that song. Baia delle Orte is located just 4 kilometers from the more famous Otranto, and to reach it you have to walk along some dirt paths, among dry stone walls, and paths that seem designed especially for those who love trekking and nature walks. Once there, that contrast of colors between the white, low cliffs and the transparent blue of a wonderful sea so that some spots look like real natural open-air swimming pools will become evident. Baia delle Orte"s characteristic of being reached precisely in a way that is not exactly convenient and fast represents its absolute strength as in this way it has been preserved from that uncontrolled human development of doing business and speculating on every single square meter of sea. Here you will feel repaid by nature, advanced on tiptoe and respectful of the place where you are, fully enjoy every single corner and the unique freshness of these waters that regenerate body and spirit. Glimpses of a wild and unknown Salento that I hope will maintain over time this delightful typicality...have a good summer at Baia delle Orte.
