You step off the narrow street and the town changes shape: whitewashed cones rise like small, deliberate mountains against a blue Apulian sky. The guide leads you through alleys where cobbles slope and the air smells faintly of olive oil and warm stone. Conversation drifts between trulli rooftops as a late-afternoon light highlights lime-washed walls and low wooden doors.
