_DSC53495 Bauxite Lake in the midday light - Salento, Apulia / Italy

Just a few kilometres from Otranto Town in south-eastern Italy is a place that will enchant you with its vibrant colours and unique atmosphere - Cava di Bauxite. This former bauxite quarry has become one of the most sought-after natural attractions in Puglia. Mining operations ended here in the 1970s, and then nature took the site back under its wing and created something extraordinary.
