Perhaps the most famous and extraordinary<\/strong> event<\/strong> in Puglia is the Night of the <\/strong><\/a>Tarantula<\/a> <\/strong>in August.<\/strong> It involves several municipalities in the province of Lecce<\/strong>. Every year it attracts almost 200 000 people coming\u00a0<\/strong>for the last night to dance in the streets and squares until the next day.<\/p>\n

Puglia is also a land of good food<\/strong> and many events are dedicated to inspired food specialties as: the Te la Uliata F<\/strong><\/a>east<\/a> <\/strong>in July<\/strong> in Caprarica of Lecce, Bacco delle gnostre<\/strong><\/a> in November<\/strong> in Noci, the Festival of Sceblasti<\/strong> (dough seasoned with olives and brine) in August in Zollino, the Octopus Festival<\/strong><\/a> in July<\/strong> in Mola di Bari or the Festival of Primitivo wine and <\/strong>Black chikpeas<\/strong> in November in Acquaviva delle Fonti.<\/span>
\nIn late May<\/strong>, for two days Cantine Aperte<\/strong> throughout Puglia.<\/strong>
\nSince 2009<\/strong> the Red Bull Cliff Diving<\/strong><\/a>, an international diving competition, takes place in Polignano a Mare in September.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many events connected to religious feasts and historical traditions<\/strong> such as the F\u00f2cara<\/strong><\/a> when every January 16th <\/strong>Novoli sets up the biggest bonfire of the Mediterranean region in honour of Sant’Antonio Abate, the Madonna of the Cultivation<\/strong> <\/a>in May in Parabita, the Festa Maggiore<\/strong><\/a> in Terlizzi, celebrated every first Sunday of August<\/strong> in\u00a0honor of Madonna Nera di Sovereto, the Palio in Taranto<\/a><\/strong> in May <\/strong>and the Historical Parade and Joust of Districts<\/strong><\/a> in August<\/strong> in Oria.<\/p>\n

An interesting visit<\/strong> to the biggest caves in Italy, the Castellana Caves<\/strong><\/a>, open all year round. Throughout the year, the caves host Hell in the Cave<\/strong><\/a>, one of the greatest underground theatre shows in the world inspired by Dante’s Inferno.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the region of the city of Bari<\/strong>, the baroque\u00a0Lecce<\/strong>, Tremiti<\/strong> and Salento,<\/strong> of incredible Trulli<\/strong>, of delicious food and much more…<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
