It is one of the most beautiful places where you can see the ancient fishing technique with the ergate. These pajare overlooking the sea were used by fishermen to store their nets and all their equipment.

Hello my lovelies

I'm currently on vacation here in Apulia near the beautiful Porto Badisco, and of course, a hike is a must!

This hike starts right from the edge of town (parking was free).

Now we set off along the rugged coast of the Adriatic Sea.
