The Bay of Sant"Andrea is an inlet that overlooks the Adriatic Sea, among steep cliffs, sea cavities, and characteristic caves all worthy of a visit both for their beauty and for the charm they enclose. We are in the heart of Salento, on the eastern coast, there where the dawn rises and manifests itself in an explosion of colors and hopes for a land full of surprises that offers glimpses of a land to be discovered. Glimpses of impervious terrain accompany us along our walk before we get to the bottom of the coast, the surrounding nature manifests itself in all its beauty, through the green of the thick Mediterranean scrub, nature trails, juniper, wild rosemary and other plants typical of the place; until we reach the edge of this white and immense rocky ridge, a heavenly panorama opens up to our eyes with the blue and transparent sea to encompass in its immensity every single rock large or small. Real natural pools color this beautiful stretch of coastline, looking around a bit people seem as surprised and amazed, perhaps enraptured by so much beauty that only Salento so generously can offer. A dive where the water is bluest sang Battisti a few years ago, but here in Sant"Andrea we are spoiled for choice, a fresh and clear water invites us to dive among these beautiful waters, more than once awarded with Blue Flags for their clarity; equip yourself with rock shoes, but above all with mask and fins to discover a wonderful seabed and every ravine and cave present along this bay. One among many is the Mbruficu Cave, a huge rock with an unusual rectangular shape, with an immense green beard due to the wind that has carried that typical Mediterranean vegetation all the way up to the tops of this rock and that preserves a beautiful cave that looks like the mouth of a large fish; it is not very deep as a cave but it holds a charm and beauty that is manifested through a series of colors ranging from green, to yellow, to white, to brown and draw a wonderful place; take advantage of it for a selfie so you can immortalize a magical moment of your vacation. These places are corners of paradise and one has a hard time finding the words to describe a spectacle of nature of these proportions, one has to experience them live, feel the freshness of the sea, the transparency of the seabed and catch all the whims of a nature that has had fun in creating the Bay of St. Andrew...have a good summer.
