A nature tour of the Coastal Dunes from Torre Canne to Torre San Leonardo Natural Park and its fascinating wetlands, where you will have a chance to observe migrating water birds. The area is accessible thanks to a series of suspended bridges over the ponds, which can be followed on foot or cycling. The park is part of the ancient via Traiana area, and is well equipped with signposts, rest areas and information spots for cyclists. The trails extend to innermost rural areas full of centuries old olive groves, dry-stone walls and historic farms. In the afternoon, you will walk through the alleys of Ostuni, the “white city”, where you will visit the baroque church of Saint Mary Magdalene, the Palazzo Ducale and the Sanctuary of Sant’Oronzo, the city’s patron saint.
