Sagre-trip
A great way to discover Salento is by going from one Sagra festival to another.
These popular village festivals, often dedicated to the patron, are distinguished by their culinary and musical richness. They are usually the celebration of a Salento speciality, or of a fruit or a vegetable, which can be tasted in all different ways. In addition to culinary abundance, musical accompaniments, such as "Pizzica" or "Taranta", trigger young and old in dances rich in rhythm.
