Basketball Opening Prayer

July 2, 2010 Santa Maria diLeuca - July 1 Lucugnano







8:30 am
just time difare breakfast, my partner is down waiting area. We are moving towards
S. Maria di Leuca , through the sunny countryside of Salento, a little hot and humid. Sky blue, slightly cloudy by its a just sopportabile.La road winds along stretches of olive groves, majestic hours, now twisted. To 13.030 after the last visit to a customer take the road to S. Maria di Leuca.
parked in the square before the cathedral, picturesque scenery that presents itself to me ... I do not know where to turn our gaze to my right ... the meeting between the two seas with the extreme heel of the boot in front of me ... the proud lighthouse, I turn and look at the plaza outside the cathedral enchanted. The glare of the sun on the stones is blinding. Fantastic.
After taking the usual photos we put ourselves in the car to go to Lucugnano lunch.
few miles and there we are. Village of about 2000 inhabitants with a small square on overlooked by a medieval Castellotto fairly well maintained. I imagine that a restoration restores splendor and majesty to a structure that requires. We are moving to the left of the square and find that the restaurant is closed for lunch .. ohohooh .... here and take over that bit of luck helped by the curiosity to discover new things ... we see a return to the streets and medieval cloth on a balcony of Castellotto with Trattoria written clearly, and we get surprise ..... .. opened a new eating place. We go and wonder. a room with a vaulted ceiling, fresh, with plastered walls of ocher, a cabinet full of belief in Kentish style wine bottles on the shelf. We find that the restaurant is called
Castle Momo, recently opened and offers simple kitchen area with homemade pasta.
We decided to try the sliced \u200b\u200btomatoes with fresh basil and ricotta salata and advises us as second owner of a fried Mediterranean fish, praising its freshness. Ok convinced us. I must admit I was right, the noodles soft and fragrant and lightly fried, tender and definitely fresh. We allow ourselves a glass of local wine, a Negramaro bulk without aristocratic pretensions, a winery in the area that gives us more than we expected. A smooth taste, fresh and sweet, that makes you immediately want to try again. An honest and without wine superstructures. The fact of drinking it in earthenware cups was fun and very suitable to the place, ahhaha, for a moment I felt the castle of an imaginary kingdom ...
I let myself be convinced to even try the cake and opt for a cheese and jam tart berries, almost Italian-style cheesecake, good, delicate and harmonious flavors.
The cost of everything? 58 euro in two. Well spent.
are the 16.00 I have to start. I have 550 km to go back home. Two days
wonderful, fulfilling job is that I was given a further store of knowledge.
