The Palude del Conte Oriented Nature Reserve is a protected natural area that falls under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Porto Cesareo, in the province of Lecce. This reserve covers a vast area including both the beautiful sand dunes mixed with Mediterranean maquis of Punta Prosciutto and Lido degli Angeli and the protected marine area of Porto Cesareo. The area between Torre Colimena, Punta Prosciutto and Torre Castiglione is a naturalistic area where, in addition to the beautiful sand dunes, there are several water basins, vast reed beds, freshwater springs and dense Mediterranean scrub with native species of rare beauty. The richness and purpose of the Palude del Conte Oriented Nature Reserve is precisely to safeguard this area from the carelessness of man, who in past years has seriously endangered such delicate ecosystems. Happy holidays in Salento!
