Mediterranean Soul

THE REAL TRIP BEGINS IN THE SOUTH.You can try to tell the story of Apulia and Ba-silicata in many ways, describing their simple and sincere beauty. Starting from Calanchi to Murgia or from Capitanata to Salento we can realize that the charm of these places is in the richness of their diversity and in their glorious past projected into the future.The Apulia, which means the land without rain, has 900 km of coast with a mediterranean weather that guarantees to this east-orien-ted region a weather that is always pleasant. Between the blue of two seas, a sky always blue and the green of the olive trees that shore up its red earth, you can fi nd the houses and beautiful farms’ dazzling white. Basilicata, instead, is a land of woods and mountains, sometimes wild and inaccessible. Its small villages are witness of a rural and peasant history that preserves its authenticity and archaism. The true beauty of these lands is, however, inherent in their incredible Medi-terranean diversity. From the National Parks of Murgia and Gargano to the enchanting and colourful Valle d’Itria, from Salento’s traditions to the millenary history enclosed in caskets such as the Marta Museum or the Metaponto Archaeological Park, from the lunar landscape

of the Calanchi to the Lucanian Dolomites, the Mediterranean soul has its roots here. Even the minority linguistic expressions represent a cultural richness of inestimable identity value: the Franco-Provençal language of the Dauni Mountains, the Arbëreshë culture of the villages near the Mount Pollino, the griko of Greece Salentina explode in popular songs and stories, giving life to musical and folklore phenomena of great attraction and anthropo-logical interest.Eating is a pleasure, here in the South it is even more so. Taste, fl avours, Mediterranean smells enrich the dining experience. The stop for lunch and dinner is almost a sacred moment of sharing pleasure and goodness. The Medi-terranean Diet was born in the South and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as are the jewel places to discover and visit: Castel del Monte, Monte Sant’Angelo, Alberobello and Matera. The latter, among the oldest in the world, alre-ady UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993, has celebrated its year as European Capital of Culture in 2019, an event that has projected it among the Top International Destinations and, as the President of the Republic Sergio Matta-rella has declared, has given honor to Italy and its South.

Beauty is here, where it lives! On the global map, Italy holds the record for UNESCO sites: they are fi fty-one of them and are part of the World Heritage for their great historical, artistic and cultural interest. Travelling along the Belpaese means disco-vering places of extraordinary richness and diversity, among magnifi cent cities of art, uncontaminated landscapes, romantic villages nestled in the mountains, beaches and sunny

coasts for long periods of the year. Among its records, Italy shows off good food and design. Home of the Mediterranean diet and fashion, it is a paradise for food and shopping’s lovers. You never get tired of discovering the Italian culture, its authentic “lifestyle” always in search of good taste, pleasure, joy of life.Tourlink guides tourists and travellers to di-scover the roots of Italian culture and the most authentic Mediterranean soul.

#SOUTHERNITALYGRANDTOUR To enrich the experience, in addition to the discovery of Apulia and Basilicata, this year Tourlink also offers the Special Grand Tour of South of Italy. From Rome Caput Mundi to the Naples of contemporary art, from the colourful Amalfi Coast to the majestic Pompeii, from the trulli of Alberobello to Taormina, Agrigento and Syracuse.

The game is divided into 4 stages, each one including some actions to be carried out before reaching the place of each appoint-ment. All without hurry - because you don’t have to run and whoever arrives fi rst doesn’t win.The game is played with the help of smartphones owned by players and the use of whatsapp.It is not necessary for all players to have a smar-tphone, the important thing is that there is at least one per team..
