About this tour
Lecce snacks in baroque stone: a rustico hot enough to sting, a pasticciotto the size of a palm, espresso over ice with almond milk. The walk starts on Piazza Sant'Oronzo, takes the pastry at Caffè Alvino and Natale, then cotognata, the dark quince paste, at the bar named for it. Self-guided in the StepQuests app: GPS between stops, stories you read on your phone.
