In APULIA, the events related to the Holy Week have always been an important point of reference for the community in terms of participation and emotional involvement.
The towns that have preserved tradition and culture offer the visitor an itinerary of faith and religiosity full of emotions: the ancient religious rites, jealously preserved by the local confraternities, live again in the traditional processions which take place in these towns. The traditional religious rites deeply involve tourists within a solemn atmosphere of intense spirituality, emotional and sensory participation marked by the heartbreaking funeral marches played by the local musical bands.
The mystery of the hooded heads, the sounds, the moans, and the religious songs create unique experiences to live in these towns, which still preserve a worth knowing artistic, cultural, and enogastronomic heritage.
Our itinerary suggests a tour to discover the marvellous corners of a region where the blue colour of the sea of the coastal cities, their harbours, which have represented for centuries important crossroads with the East, are in striking and fascinating contrast with the inland landscapes marked by olive trees, vineyards, and farmhouses. These are the places where the unique flavours of the sea blend together with the sweet and smelling tastes of the land as well as the genuine flavours of tradition meet culinary innovation.
We offer a unique tour to enjoy a holiday break of spiritual relax ad cultural enrichment.
Enchanted by these places, tourist will preserve an indelible memory of Apulia.
