I’ve returned to the Salento (as I’ve mentioned before, it’s in the heel of the boot) as I just can’t get enough.  My favorite thing about the city of Lecce, apart from its breathtaking architecture and open, warm people, is the fact that it’s between two seas.

I can choose from the Ionian or the Adriatic, depending on which wind (the Scirocco or the Tramontana) is blowing.   The other night I was chatting with two friends at a local tango event, and learned that some people are passionate about which sea they prefer.  I was asked the fierce question, “Do you like the Adriatic or the Ionian better?”  I said I didn’t know, that I liked both but that I was more familiar with the Adriatic.  “Mah!” my friend said, “There is nothing like the Ionian Sea!”

I personally will take either sea – I feel fortunate that I can so easily get to the water.  Be it the Adriatic or the Ionian, I don’t see how one could possibly take sides!

I’ll let you decide for yourself:

The Adriatic…?

….or the Ionian?
