🇮🇹 Bari, Italy: A Taste of Puglia’s Soul

As the capital of Puglia, this vibrant port city served us: 3 sun-drenched days ☀️ Handmade orecchiette pasta lessons from nonna Porcia in the Old Town 🍝 (Pro tip: Shape them like little ears!) Octopus sandwiches (panino col polpo)—chewy-delicious! 🐙 Local quirks: ⏳ Shops nap from 1-4:30PM (like sensible Mediterraneans) 🍽️ Dinner starts at 7PM (adjust your clock!) From Scotland to Bari? Weather shock: 15°C → 30°C real quick 🔥 Food joy: Even the simplest espresso here hits different ☕ hat orecchiette dough fight? Worth the flour mess. Who’s booking a pasta class? 👩‍🍳✨) [Note: Used ☀️🍝🐙 for local flavors, ⏳ for siesta culture, and kept the tone warm and hungry!] #PugliaFood #ItalianSummer #TravelEats
