Macchia mediterranea of Cantagallo (scrub)

The Macchia Mediterranea di Cantagallo is an area of outstanding natural beauty near Francavilla Fontana. Thanks to its high position above the plain of Taranto, the Macchia offers a unique viewpoint over the rural landscape and down to the sea. A splendid 'balcony over the Ionian Sea' where the gaze embraces the familiar green of the olive groves, the bright colours of the Mediterranean flora varieties and the shimmering blue of the sea.
