 DESCRIPTION:  
The region of Apulia, Puglia in Italian, is located in the southeastern part of Italy. It stretches from the "spur" (Gargano) to the heel of the boot (Salento). In Apulia you can see antique architectural buildings called "trulli". These are white buildings made of stone, built into a ring and they have a conical roof. In all these coastal centres fishing is a characteristic.
