I think of Puglia as the heel of the boot of Italy, but it extends much further north than the heel. It is the southern most part of Italy on the Adriatic Sea and has a couple of hundred miles of coast line. It has some really beautiful cities that are attracting a lot of attention from tourists. Puglia continues to reinforce my slight preference for southern Italy over northern Italy. The people are fantastic and the food is incredible, who can ask for anything more.
