After the presentation, travelers will leave for Alberobello.
Alberobello is the greatest example of an urban center of trulli culture, with its almost 2000 conical-shaped buildings it is in fact considered by many to be the capital of the trulli. The area where the trulli stand is a karst area, in the past inhabited for the most part by farmers.
Trulli are small stone houses without windows, or with a small and simple window in a square or rectangular shape. The color of the houses is white (i.e. whitewashed) with a gray cone roof, which originally light has darkened due to atmospheric agents.
They are built without concrete, but with mortar and local limestone.

From Alberobello you will cycle towards Locorotondo, a town recognized as "Orange Flag" by the Touring Club for the harmony of the shapes and the usability of the historic center, the ancient heart of Locorotondo is a unique monument that exerts charm and charm, with its white huts, the cobbled streets, elegant portals and flowered balconies.
