Along the sea, from Novaglie to Leuca, there is a place. Il Ciolo.
The king of the Adriatic
The particular name is due to the dialectal term 'Ciola', which means magpie thief, volatile typical of Salento who loves to nest right along the cliff of the place. The bridge that characterizes this stretch of coast, called the Ciolo Bridge, overlooks the cliff by joining two overhangs that create a deep ravine.
This is an important engineering work, which allows you to enjoy a fantastic panorama: the high and wild cliffs, the Mediterranean scrub that surrounds you, the sea that stretches endlessly ..
Precisely in this frame we will go on our trek, reaching the heights of the ridge, at 100m s.l.m.
We will meet a strange trullo, we touch the village of Gagliano and an old ruined farmhouse.
Meeting at 9:30 am - Ponte Ciolo, Otranto coast road - S. M. di Leuca

I LIKE TREKKING is a new, young, sports association with a great desire to explore and the enthusiasm of the first time, but born of more than 15 years of experience, of tests on the territory, of discoveries made and awareness in walking the the most arduous and magnificent paths of Salento. Our goal is to always make more people fall in love with this land, which has so much to offer and to amaze the view with its coasts, the sea and the hinterland rich in history, and the sense of smell with the scents of the Mediterranean full of so many aromatic plants that each of us ignores, and it is precisely with trekking that we can discover this world hidden by a way of life that is sometimes too civilized.
