The spectacular Bauxite Quarry near Otranto, where an emerald-colored lake has naturally formed after mining activities ceased. The contrast between the intense red of the bauxite-rich earth, the green of the lake and the surrounding vegetation creates an almost lunar landscape of extraordinary beauty. Today it is one of the most photographed attractions in Salento.
