Some destinations show their beauty instantly. Puglia is not one of them. It reveals itself slowly, like a memory returning. The region in the heel of Italy is shaped by sun, sea and centuries of tradition, and it exists in a rhythm entirely its own. Perhaps its geographical poetry is part of the charm.
