The "Faith" itinerary leads tourists to discover the area of ​​the Capo di Leuca following a fascinating journey dotted with rural churches, crypts, recreational places, through countryside full of those rural evidences typical of the Salento: stone walls, terraced olive groves, pajare and dry stone structures that testify to the efforts of the locals to make the area cultivable.   An exciting and evocative journey that brings the modern tourist to follow the steps, retrace the paths, rest, and stop for a moment of concentration or prayer in those places that for centuries pilgrims have traveled to reach the southern tip of the Italian mainland, the Santuario di Santa Maria di Leuca.   A route that for its intrinsic nature prefers less visible tracks, more hidden, a time to travel "protected", risking not being attacked by robbers who thronged the many country sides, now to live and discover a territory in total sharing with nature, history and uniqueness that distinguishes it.
