Today we have two must-see places on the agenda. Locorotondo is built in a circle, has incredibly beautiful little streets and, how could it be otherwise, a church in the...

We want to continue to Castel del Monte. I enter the location into the navigation system. However, since the Castel is not directly in town, I think I'll be smart and look for...
