The Network of Municipalities tells the story of many localities that have chosen Ewiva charging stations to embrace the road to change. Among the Italian localities hosting our ultrafast network is Castro, one of the most important jewels of Salento, in the province of Lecce.
Castro, breathtaking landscapes
Castro is a picturesque town in Puglia, famous for its thousand-year history and natural beauty. Located along the eastern coast of Salento, the town is formed by a promontory where the medieval area rises, surrounded by the lower part of Castro Marina, which instead develops along the port.
