After the guided tour through the decorated alleys and the view of the sea of Monopoli, you will return aboard our comfortable minivan reserved for a maximum of 8 passengers.

During the climb towards the capital of the Trulli, the driver will tell you the history and secrets of the unique architecture of these dry-stone buildings. You will relax in the heat while the landscape gradually transforms into a real enchanted Christmas village, with the iconic cones beginning to appear illuminated in the distance.

In the late afternoon and as evening falls, the stone cones light up with suggestive Christmas light projections, artist illuminations, and festive decorations.

The driver will introduce you to the history of Locorotondo, explaining the origin of its circular shape (from which the name Locus Rotundus comes) and the unique characteristics of the cummerse, the typical stone pitched roofs.
