All Things Puglian The following links are for people interested in finding out more about Puglia. There are forums, classifieds and general information about travel, food, drink, weather, where to visit, etc. Guidebook: I found The Complete Guide to the Salento in a small shop in Galatone (Via Leuzzi) and I thoroughly recommend getting a copy. In my view, it includes much more useful information than the rough guides on the local food and drink, fiestas, hidden beaches and it includes lots of hikes and coastal walks. Unfortunately, the original link doesn't appear to work and I can no longer find reference to this specific book, however it was produced by Qui Salento so those of you who speak better Italian than me, may find the following link useful. www.quisalento.it - Qui Salento Weather: www.wunderground.com - Includes historical weather data for the area. Useful Forums: Interesting News Articles: Article from The Mail about Lecce, Gallipoli and "unmissable" Galatina (Aug 2009). Article from The Mail about Amanda's place in nearby Nardo ... and more (April 2009).
