Shopping
We highly recommend to also use the local markets in Ostuni (Sat) and Brindisi (Thu) where you can find food and clothes and everything else. Look out for the quality clothes stands, there are few but close to each other. Real leather bags can be a bargain compared to our country.
Paperino
6 Via Brigata ReginaKids clothing, high quality but also have an outlet beside the main shop.

My favourite, don't miss the Basilica.
Santa Maria di Leuca is located in the point of the heel. It has stunning beaches, well worth the longer drive down (about 1h30). Lot's to visit on the way too.
