Town festivals

Celebrations, town festivals and religious rituals fascinate every year many locals and foreigners. This area has managed to preserve local traditions and maintain cultural events throughout the years. Each village has a different celebration in honour of the Saint Patron. Wonderful decorations made of unique lighting impress visitors. Long galleries made of thousands and thousands of small coloured light bulbs are placed according to old techniques together with enchanting fireworks and products such as cupeta (sweet made of almond, honey and sugar) and scapece (fish, vinegar, bread and saffron) prepared according to the old traditional recipes.
