In the Salento: the Festival of the Senses

Don't you think that Val d'Itria is a wonderful and memorable land? Never heard of it? Then do a favor to your own senses, participate in the Festival of the Senses, a three days dedicated event that goes beyond a simple sightseeing. You can join travelling conferences - that is moving from spot to spot - , socalled trips at a slow pace, tactile exhibits, biodiversity, food, and good opportunities to enjoy the sensuality of Puglia from a different point of view.

Not only will you experince tastes and flavors, but also live a cultural and emotional bond between the charming towns of Cisternino, Locorotondo and the town of Martina Franca, special places where the sight will be dancing among the beautiful architecture and the numerous movie screenings.

You can choose among piano concerts, movies and documentaries, or even ride donkeys in old farmhouses, or taste the local products, such as capocollo Cisternino or wines such as the Locorotondo Doc and the Verdeca.

The festival does not have an English version of the website, so if you have difficulty in understanding the programme you can simply comment this article with the questions that interest you on the show. We will do our best to help you!
