S22EP66 | ITALY - LECCE is INCREDIBLE

Have you heard of Pasticciotto? Neither had we.. But you should know NOT to miss it!
Lecce is famous for "la pietra leccese" - a kind of limestone which is extremely soft and workable. Thus, it's home to some beautiful historical structures such as the Basilica di Santa Croce, the Porta Napoli and the Duomo. It's also known for its papier mâché ("cartapesta") which was originally used for creating religious statues that were lighter to carry for festivals.

As you mentioned how busy the city became after dusk with everyone walking around...I thought that there was a special Italian word...then you displayed "passeggiato" and I laughed out loud. Awesome pastry reviews. Keep up the great work enjoying your travels (I'm binge watching so I'm all over the place in your timeline). Brisbane QLD

Lecce's great! For the last few nights I've been wandering around, seeing all the wonderful looking food people are eating on every street!

Recently found you guys and are really enjoying your videos as we are currently in process of looking for a van / camper ourselves to start our adventure in March 25

My husband and I loved your series on Salento Italy. You went to some of our absolute favourite destinations! Castro, Lecce, Otranto and all of the beaches. Our top fav towns of Puglia also include Tricase Porto, Nardo, Specchia and we are so glad ypu discovered tarelli and the wonderful pasticiotto (especially Martinucci, s).
Keep the fantastic travel dreams alive and thanks for making and sharing such informative and enjoyable series.❤

a Mare-Fasano-Lecce-Brindisi is my favourite triangle in puglia. Beautiful beaches, great food and drinks all provided by people that know how to live very close to heaven, while firmly rooted to their home soil.

I know this city because of the football club. For me, if your football club plays good football, I will gladly visit your city.
Love from Jakarta.

We are also South Africans traveling Europe in our motor home and have just arrived in Lecce. Thank you for your video and tips. We would love to meet you both.

Great vlog and those pastries looked wow, hope the leak is fixed

What a beautiful map of Lecce, Sort of 3D, Very Malta. Wow chocolate tasting, my wife would love it. I had to do the windows on our lovely 20 year old van, I just did as you did and resealed all good. Hello from France guys nice to see you back.

[littleboatcaptain]

Well that's another place I need to visit 👍

[hussellusa]

Great video thank you for posting. I had my hopes up for the Opera Lounge pasteries however Google Maps reports it Permantely Closed. We have 2 nights in Lecce 4-30 to 5-2 2024. For sure there are lots of others and I will be looking for Pizzo too. Good tip to be cautious about the Olive Pits in the Pizzo. I understand that the authentic Focaccia de Bari also has the pits in the olives. If you ever make it to the state of Sonora in northern Mexico some of their Tamales include an olive with the pit in it also. Con Cuidado! 🙂

Hi watched the video on lecce. At one part you were eating a single cake which was your best thing in Italy. Could you let me know what it was made of? Thanks

[creekyknee]

It looks wow, great idea to use what3words, I was able to view the square that you were parked in, within seconds. And there are a few campervans parked there the day the google van passed. Sun bathing in December, we need to move 😞

[TheIrishMegaphone]

You guys sure eat a lot of pastry! LOL.

What do the "//word.word.word" remarks mean? Is it some kind of code?
