They go from the Grotta Palombara to the Grotta Azzurra, from the Grotta Romanelli to what is probably the most famous of the group, the Grotta Zinzulusa. The latter is the result of the karst phenomenon typical of Salento. The name derives from "zinzuli," or "rags." We are talking about the stalactites present in this cave, which have sparked the imagination of the locals, who saw rags in these natural geological formations.
