Sometimes in planning a summer vacation one tries to combine different sensibilities and tastes in choosing a particular place; there are those who prefer the deep, golden beach, those who seek instead the cliffs because most of the time the water is much cooler and clearer than on a crowded beach, those who prefer the nightlife with loud music and wild fun, and those who are looking for a remote and little-known place to take advantage and enjoy some relaxation. It is not easy to satisfy the different needs and this is understandable, but many times a little advice is perhaps welcome. We are in Porto Miggiano, in the province of Lecce, on the eastern side of Salento, on the outskirts of Santa Cesarea Terme a town famous for its thermal waters and location of several discos that have been satisfying the tastes of many young people for many years now. At Porto Miggiano one can admire above all the Pilane, these characteristic sculptures, artfully carved by expert hands and caressed by the sea over the centuries and that today represent singular tourist attractions that surround and frame real natural open-air pools, a destination in the height of summer for many families who decide to spend a day at the beach at this typical stretch of coastline. The depth of the water remains shallow for long stretches so let your children play peacefully in the sea, and this place is a fair compromise especially when the sea is a tad rough being sheltered from the wind. Porto Miggiano is a small village, quiet with its little harbor, the 16th century tower and especially the Pilane, that"s why it"s worth dropping by this enchanted village and experience in person those emotions we need especially in summer. The warm Salento sun will do the rest by warming our bodies when we get out of the sea we will be spoiled for choice in looking for an inviting rock where we can lay down our towel and relax maybe with our favorite book. Small gestures, a sea of positive feelings, and the blue Adriatic surrounding our thoughts...welcome to the Pilanas and have a good summer from Porto Miggiano.
