Spilinga lies on the slopes of
Monte Poro and is famous for its gastronomic tradition and for its “nduja”,
an extremely hot sausage made
of meat, lard and the leftovers from the processing of the pork and very
hot chilli pepper. 707 metres
above sea level, Monte Poro rises straight out of the sea. From here you
can admire a wonderful view of Capo Vaticano.
At the highest point of Monte Poro there is a little church where
the Madonna del Carmelo is worshipped by many pilgrims who celebrate the
feast day on 16 July. At Torre Galli a large
necropolis can be found dating back to the Bretti civilisation (IX – VII
centuries BC).
