Trulli scrumptious

Posted in Travel, on 30 June 2010 - 10:08am

Last week we went on a family vacation to the province of Apulia (Puglia) in southern Italy, and one of the obligatory stops there is Alberobello, home of the trullis (for more info about these round stone huts, check out the Wiki in English or Italian).  They are as cute as can be, although (as one of my guidebooks reported) at this point, many of them are gift shops.  But not all; some are still private homes. 

I noticed that many of the gift shops were selling simple knitted or crocheted ponchos like these.  (Not nearly as cute as the trullis, if you ask me!)

The trullis look wonderful. Nearby to where I live there is a little typically Spanish white walled village called Mijas. The villagers knit and crochet the exact same style of garments that you describe and show!! Must be something about rural villages. I am off to Lake Garda in September, hopefully I will make it to Gerona again and find a yarn store there. If I manage to get to Lake Como will look you up!! ¡Hasta luego! Mazza
