Salento is a land full of surprises both for the lone traveler who for the first time finds himself in close contact with unspoiled nature, as well as for families who every year in the summer do not change their destination deciding to spend their vacations discovering still unknown places, but also for groups of young people looking for fun and at the same time the right relaxation. So let us continue our interactive tour to discover those corners of Apulia completely forgotten by time and light years away from those frenetic rhythms with which we are accustomed to confront on a daily basis. We are in Sant"Andrea, a small hamlet of the municipality of Melendugno, several times awarded Blue Flags for the clarity of these wonderful waters. Already on arrival in the car we can breathe that serene and relaxing air, not at all noisy if we think of the crowded beaches of a Salento summer; crossing the path that leads from the parking lot to the sea we will find ourselves immersed in a riot of scents that only intense Mediterranean scrub conveys, with the various wild species, the dry stone walls and a surrounding panorama to leave us breathless. A long rocky ridge overlooks the marvelous Adriatic Sea and opens to our eyes all the beauty of a crystal blue water; going down through a narrow and impervious staircase that reaches down right to the water we just have to take off our shoes, choose a rock to lay our towel on and dive into the water without thinking twice to discover the various caves and inlets along this stretch of coast. The Mafar Cave also known as the Cave of the First Beach is a small rocky cavity among the white rocks surrounding this enchanting place, and is a popular destination for many tourists who decide to visit it every summer with mask and snorkel in tow. This beautiful sea cave has all the appearance of a small chapel with different shades of colors intertwined in a succession of white, bronze, brown, and with the ends of the rocky sedimentations testifying to the passage of time and the continuous flow of sea waves to draw every single inch of this characteristic cave. Take advantage of it to snorkel to discover a seabed rich in fish and glimpses typical of this marvelous bay, or even for a simple regenerating swim; these waters convey a freshness and a sense of well-being that is rarely felt in other places. This is the summer of Salento, as the maxim goes ... sun, sea and wind ... happy vacations.
