Puglia – Apulia
Puglia – or Apulia if you like – is the heel of Italy’s boot. A lively southern region with a long coastline, great beaches, stunning scenery, a warm,friendly atmosphere and a rich history with ancient traditions.
Puglia is divided into the six provinces Bari, Taranto, Lecce, Brindisi, Foggia and Barletta-Andria-Trani comprising a total of 19,345 square kilometres. The population is about 4.1 million. Puglia is primarily an agricultural region producing numerous fruits and vegetables along with wines and olive oil from around 50 million olive trees.
Mummies in Oria
As Halloween approaches I can’t help recording a visit to the mummies in Oria earlier this year. They were lined up in a crypt beneath the cathedral.

Baked Sea Bream with Potatoes
One of the easiest ways to prepare sea bream is to bake it in the oven on a bed of sliced potatoes. Grated cheese, parsley and garlic make the fine meat even more aromatic.
