- Salento Beaches & Crazy Italian Fast Food - Pizza Dough Burger & Octopus Sandwich?! | Exploring Puglia's Salento
This Italy food video we try some Italian fast food. If you are as intrigued by what Italian food is like as we were, you won't be disappointed. In Puglia, the pizza dough Puccia sandwich is popular street food but in Taranto, they go one better make and have perfected the dirty burger. It is a pizza dough burger with fries inside. Crazy, delicious and weird. They also have an octopus sandwich. Visually different, it is an interesting take on Italian seafood. If you are looking for what you should eat in Italy, I think this should be on your list. Probably not that high on your must-eat list, but should be there all the same :)
We also visited the beautiful beaches of Salento. Puglia is famous for its beaches and again they didn't disappoint even if the weather wasn't in our favour. We visited the Maldives of Salento, Gallipoli and Punta Procusttio beaches and then to top it all off, Salina dei Monaci Nature reserve where they had bloody FLAMINGOS!! A must do in Italy in my bird book ;)

Welcome to the official Travel Beans CZcams channel! On this channel, youâll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which youâll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just ÂŁ500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

I love you Italy beautiful and natural beautiful clean rich country Italy đźđčđźđčđźđčđźđčđźđčđźđč
Totally agree, Italy is such a beautiful country with so many cities and places to explore! Btw if you're interested, I also have a travel channel with vlogs from Greece and Italy if you want to check it out â€ïž
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon I am subscribed your channel
@@bibekdas5595 Let's say that Italy can be divided into two parts, northern Italy is extremely overrated while southern Italy is extremely underrated.
I am a local. When the wind is Sud/West you have to go on the Adriatic side, like Otranto, when is Nord/Est, go to Ionic side like Gallipoli or Maldive.
One great natural reserved and more bigger and organized, It is WWF Le cesine, near La poesia (the cave of poetry). With way more Flamingos!
Beaches, Burgers and BIRDS! I can't believe you just stumbled on a random flock of Flamingos, how awesome is that. Also Emma I really like your outfit while you were walking the streets :)
this burger was just out of this world! Btw if you're interested, I also have a travel channel with vlogs from Greece and Italy if you want to check it out â€ïž
really underrated chanel! Love your video's
I wouldnât ever eat octopus ever again (yes I have& enjoyed it but then....) after watching âMy octopus teacherâ on Netflix. Theyâre so intelligent and curious! Amazing. Thank you for supporting local businesses & accommodations. thatâs so cool xx
Same here! felt so guilty for the octopus i had in the cook islands :(
Pigs are also very smart, but for some reason no one (except obviously the vegetarians) feels bad for eating them
@@donstrudel1564 đ yep I donât eat any animal anymore. đ wish Iâd done it years ago. Better late than never.
So it is okay to eat animals that are less intelligent?
Me too
The Salento is no longer an insider tip. Thank you very much ;)
I love this area.
Greats from Germany
The Octopus burger looked delicious!! Love watching you guys, real and down to earth people. Happy travels can't wait to see what you do next.
Hope they can still travel, I am now in lockdown in London. Where in the world are you? Btw if you're interested, I also have a travel channel with vlogs from Greece and Italy if you want to check it out â€ïž
I love seeing Alex when he sees birds. His reaction is so childlike. Pure happiness :)
Yeah, I think Italy brings out the best of you! Btw if you're interested, I also have a travel channel with vlogs from Greece and Italy if you want to check it out â€ïž
It's been quite a work week so it was lovely to see you two enjoying life. Great to see a part of Italy that's not overrun by tourists
So much to discover in Salento! đ«
Dirty burger for sure! Thanks for another chuckle along with my morning coffee! Great video guys! ~Cara
Great vid guys! You remind me that while travelling can be sometimes stressful, it REALLY is fun! Your laughter is contagious- keep it up đđ
Wonderful video! Yeah, I would eat the octupus burger. đ
Literally drooling watching you eat that pizza dough burger. Epic! As far as accomodation goes I think comfy bed and good night's sleep is a priority over how posh it is. I'd rather sleep on a comfy bed in a concrete cell than a crap bed in a posh place.
Just binge watched all the salento series. Have just found you two, and love your work. My kind of Italy! Thanks!
Salento is such a wonderful part of Italy đ so glad you enjoyed the videos! đ
On our honeymoon, we stayed in a ÂŁ500 a night suite in Hakone, Japan, with a private thermal pool!
Iâd love to do it again some time but I think with luxury places like that itâs got to be for one night, then you go back to the budget hotels.
And the rest of your life your live in a box đ
Haha love it.. 6 nights in a hostel and 1 night someplace fancy. Seems like a great idea!
The pizza dough burger sounds fabulous!
Always such great videos. Omg the octopus was umm.. đł lots of aloha! đ
Haha! Love to see you both. And seeing your channel grow. Been watching and following your channel since youâve started. Your Philipiines stay and some Asia too and now back to England. I am a Filipino living in England. I just started my channel. You Both inspired me to start my own channel. Love you both. love your style of vlogging too.đâ€ïž
Your videos are so very nice and funny. Buon divertimento in Italia. We look forward to seeing you next year.
Burger đ for me đ and birds! Yes đđ»
Bello, bello, bello, belloooooo!!!!
Pizza dough bread dirty burger,,...huge thumbs up
Octopus is delish!
Easy tip for Salento visitors. West coast only if itâs northern wind!
Amazing videos guys! Congrats! đđ»
You are guys so lovely! Watching your videos make me happy! .) I canÂŽt wait to visit Salento next week and of course I have to try the dirty pizza dough burger! :))
LOVE THIS! Especially seeing how you spend so little on a room for the night! My goal is always to spend the least amount on our room w/o it being sketchy. The best part about traveling in Europe is that you can get amazing rooms for so cheap, especially compared to the US where you often find dirty, old, outdated rooms for $150+ depending on where/when you go (New England coast near where we live for sure)! I don't think that our friends who don't travel the way we do understand how affordable it is. They think we are fancy & extravagant by going to Europe a couple times a year (when there isn't a pandemic) and they don't believe us when we tell them that most of the time our whole trip for 10 days costs less than a week at a beach in Maine or on the Cape in summer and is definitely less than a trip to Disney! I wish hotels here were as affordable as in Europe!!!
Watching all these videos is makes me long to travel so so much!!!! Can't wait to get back to Europe soon!!!!
Another great episode, you two leading the way on these travel shows.
Another great video!
Thanks David!
I would be eating both, love a bit of octopus đ đ
Loving your Italia series! Great videos guys! Next time you visit, you should visit the other southern tip of the boot.... Calabria. Thats a truly 'under the radar' place with amazing beaches, history and food. Continue on to Sicily and the Eolian islands after :D
Alex and his birds...This time Flamingos đŠ©đŠ©đŠ©đŠ©đŠ© Great video guys...Thanks đ
Haha he gets so excited
I have to say, you were very brave ordering the octopus burger! I love your sense of adventure.
lol i JUST said that too! I Am NOT that Brave!
Octopus sandwich looks great.
Can't believe you ate that whole burger! It looked ginormous!đ
It would be insane to leave it and not eat it! Btw if you're interested, I also have a travel channel with vlogs from Greece and Italy if you want to check it out â€ïž
Wow
The burger for the win!!
Ben fatto. Well done
I'm very much enjoying your choices in locations. Literally never seen these regions covered before. Octopus can be quite wonderful but only with expert cooking. I hope Emma's ear heals up soon.
Nice to see young people exploring this magic part of Italy đ
You got me at pizza dough burger. I like octopus but I prefer the dirty burger. I'm new here and have been enjoying your Italy videos. Funny, entertainment and good food and wine. Nice work!!!
nicely put together, great edit.
I love Italian pizza and food bro
You guys are hilarious. As for the accommodation, I agree with you, it was absolutely perfect. Even fancy, with a big kitchen. I travel the same way; I just need a safe place to sleep, and the cheaper the better. I am never inside anyway. I love your adventures.
Oh great! You went to Poldo!! That is (at least it was when I was living there) the best for puccia! So many good memories from that place!
I love Poldo đ
@@salentowithlove3314 the name Poldo derives from an Italian adaptation of the original name Wellington Wimpy or his full Italian name is Poldo Sbaffini
You two are fun to watch đ
i want to help them with some things.. they're so young-so adorable.
I love the accommodations you stayed in. I wouldnât consider them a âdungeon.â So quaint and beautiful
Not sure I would like to try Octopus haha, I wonder who the first person was that thought yummm that octopus looks good imma taste it. I know lots of people enjoy it but it's just not something I would like to experience even if it does taste nice. Awesome vlog btw guys I love how you always having a laugh x
đ I wonder that too! Thanks so much for watching đ
Such good British humour! Love it . From someone, somewhere on a British colony in the pacific
Hey guys! Firstly, a big fat âno wayâ can I eat tentacles and suckers đ€ą. Iâve been told that freshly cooked octopus is bueno!!
I donât know what Iâll do when I catch up with all your vlogs đ§ so keep on filming and educating and making me smile and laugh!! đđ»đđ»đđŠđŠđ„°đ ââïžđ ââïž
Of course I would!!
Hopefully you guys make it to Greece, as you nearby and that is where you will find the best octopus - grilled with lemon and olive oil. Seeing it as a burger looked weird. Great vlog once again. Loving this Italy series!
Would love to make it to Greece but can't on this trip. That will be a series in the future though
@@TravelBeans Wonderful! Can't wait! â„ïž Very happy to see more of Italy though!
Oh my god that smile !!!!!!!!
I love Octopus and id definitely try the dirty burger⊠My Dream is to go to Italy! Thanks guys for the recommendations
Wow!!! We found your channel and are SO happy. Planning our Italy trip now and after seeing your videos we definitely want to go to the south east of Italy...maybe skip Amalfi coast to do it?
Absolutely agree with you, the accommodations are just a place to sleep.
You kids just make me laugh. Thanks for sharing all your fun.
So happy to hear that! Thanks for watching Kim đđ
Great video, you to are so crazy, love it
How could one live without ever have tried octopus... It's unbelievable
Yoy need to try it with potatoes and parsley
Love octopus!!!!
That scenery and food are killing me. Outstanding. đ The town of Galllipoli is pronounced: Ga Lip Oh Lee.
Amazing town and incredible food!
đđ€â€ïž
Eeek Octopus Noooo thank you. Looks a lovley place . Wow that burger đ±. Massive the calories in that đ
Seems to be a good time to go to beautiful Italy - streets/beaches don't look crazy crowded. If I weren't a vegetarian, I'd say your fast food looked pretty amazing - Italians do food the best in my book :)
Agreed.. Everywhere is so quiet right now and it's actually one of the safest and easiest places to travel in Europe at the moment. And luckily, every place seems to have plenty of tasty veggie options! Italian food is the best đ
That must be the best burger in the world!!!
We are huge fans of the channel! I think I've watched all your Italy vids 3-4 times.
I have a question about driving in Puglia... how safe was your luggage(in your car) when you wandered down to the beach?
Any driving tips? We are driving from Bari, down and around to Matera, and back to Bari over a period of 15 days.
Pizza bread burger for the win!!
Waves travel huge distances, the local wind forecast for the day is no indicator of calm seas. Besides that, another very watchable video.
i REALLY Like this Place! And What's Important Is, It's CLEAN. To Me, That is VERY Important.
LMAO "on our holibbobs"..... totally agree about a place to sleep as long as it's clean.... we have only ever had one dodgy place in Barcelona.... but it made for a crazy story (there was even a live rabbit in a cage)
Another great vid to watch. Burgers looked tasty but were there any/many vegan options in that region?
Hi, just a tip Salento is not a secret at all, probabily you found it a little empty due the covid, but believe me usually is a famous summer destination, so from the end of july to the beginning of september could be really crowded especially in august, really really crowded, the pro is that have all that coastline you could find your spot but away from the beaches most "IN".
About flamingoes you probabily already know but the color becomes less and lesser pink while they feed the babies
Burger đ chez CRIANZA Lecce is astonishing!!
Love the intro
đđ€€đđ€€đ
I would definitely eat the burger on pizza bread!
Come to Brazil. We have beautiful landscapes here too.
I'd probably go for the octopus sandwich, not to many cows grazing on the beach there. I find it interesting that you both are able to travel during all that is COVID. I am an American isolating in a remote part of Ireland and loving it. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks Bruce! Yes, we are very lucky to be able to travel at this time.. Although the restrictions are tightening up again here in Europe coming into winter. So let's see what happens!
I'd definitely go for the dirty burger!
The Puglia region is on my bucket list of places to visit in Italy. The dirty burger looks yummy đ. Iâm with you both as long as a place is clean Iâd choose the cheaper place over expensive places to stay. My cousin , her husband and I shared a room for 3 days in Florence in 2019. We didnât realize it was a shared room until we had already booked but in the end it was fine as we were only sleeping. Unless you plan on spending all your time in the room I donât see the point in booking expensive rooms.
The "burger" puccia is just a typical puccia, we put every kind of meat (and not just that, as you saw in the other video) in it and you can find it pretty easily everywhere, sometimes even at "paninari", places (typically in vans) that sell sandwiches at the side of the road. God you made me want a puccia now.
Love you bro
Hey Beans, love the video and to answer your questions I would stay in a place with less nice accommodations to save some money and spend more money on doing and seeing things in that location and I would have done the same thing Alex did and get both burgers. The weird tentacle one and the yummy juicy dirty one.
Glad Alex got his bird fix! The pink ones are older and have eaten more of the algae that turns them pink.
best sea and beaches of Italy, and probably in Europe are in Sardinia, hands down! you really need to go there
and it's full of flamingos in southern sardinia
It looks incredible!
a octupus burger? that is criminal :D
No! To the octopus đ„Ž Love you guys!!!!
I came here for the Octopus Burger! :)
Octopus sandwich no thanks but Iâd like to try the pizza dough sandwich. Love your channel.
You really have to try it! I had it years ago and it was so much better than what you'd expect! Btw if you're interested, I also have a travel channel with vlogs from Greece and Italy if you want to check it out â€ïž
Hello guys! Lovely beaches, I think that because the weather is changing it is turning windy don't you think? And about the food, I wouldn't eat non of the things Alex is eating because I'm a vegan đ. Beautiful places as always. Thank you guys. Se cuidan, adiĂłs.
Thanks Carla! Yes, definitely feeling the changing of the seasons now with much more wind and rain.
Also, could you send us the contact details for your friend, if possible? We're really interested in going there soon đ
Hands down the octopus burger. We have friends who live on Lanzarote, when we were there on holiday they invited us to dinner and served octopus. It was so delicious and we learned the octopus has to be cooked at least four hours for it to become 'soft'. It was served as a salad and my mouth waters just thinking about it. Great video guys!
I love tasting interesting local food, but I have read âThe Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousnessâ. Such an amazing book. I will now never be able to eat octopus. Emma, you have to read this book!
Oh wow, sounds super interesting.. Absolutely love the subject of consciousness too! đ Thanks
when i was young, i was used to go to Poldo to eat those so big puccia
Emma, those roll up ear plugs would be ideal to keep water out of your ear. Do you know the ones? They are typically orange or green and you roll them into a long thin baguette shape (for want of a better word) stick them in and in 30 seconds, they've expanded to completely seal your ear. I reckon they'd be great for you.
Thanks John đ yes I usually travel with specific earplugs that I can use to snorkel and swim underwater but unfortunately I didn't have them with me on this trip. Those ones you're talking about would probably work well for splashes etc though, never thought of that. Thanks đ
Once you see "My Octopus Teacher" you will never eat octopus again. Superb part of the world though, and another good episode.
For me, I like to save on hotels as long as they are clean and aren't like the bates motel or something weird/scary. I think the place you found still looks like it has a bit of charm.
we do not have motels etc :O
How was the noise level at the accommodation where you stayed here? How was it at street level and above you? That was a great price at 20 pounds.
I'm Italian and I would devour both burgers you tried!
Love from Oklahoma
Remember the pink flamingos in the Miami Vice tv credits ?
The strength of wind and waves is probably related to the time of day you visit. Air will heat off the opposite land mass and be pushed across as the day warms up. Photos of a calm beach are probably taekn in the early morning or evening when the air is cooler. You get a similar effect on Tenerife with hot air blowing off the coast of Africa during the afternoon.
@stevo728822, Uhmm, yes and not, in summer day of high pressure could be flat as an oil surface, anyway could be also true what you describe, but the main issue is that Salento is exposed to the main winds during summer, Tramontana, Grecale, Scirocco, Levante, in fact the unofficial "motto" is "Salentu, lu sole , lu mare, lu ientu" "Salento il sole il mare il vento" "Salento the sun the sea the wind", so a good idea is to switch coast according the wind direction. If Adriatic is on the mood Ionian usually is calm and viceversa, there are guide online about what beach choose, but sometimes you have no chance.
Octopusgang represent
Go to Le castella Calabria itâs really amazing and just few hours drive from where you are
Oh wow.. Looks incredible! Thanks for the tip!
