Hello Helen, This is actually in April this year…I know…it does look rather chilly and this year for some strange reason it was! However, the weather in April is usually fabulous and we usually take our first dips in the sea the first weekend of April. Now of course we’re looking forward to a little cooler weather…things have been far too hot this last August with temperatures in the low 40°Cs…one of the reasons we don’t have our tours in Lecce at that time of year!
