Saturday, July 30th 2016, we are pleased to invite you to “Trame di Roccia – (rocky plots)” a moonlight walk in the former quarry called “Cava di Pezze Caldara”, in the heart of the Park Dune Costiere.

The Association Polyxena members will lead us in one of the more suggestive corners of the park, telling us about the geological history of our country, through the fauna and flora of Puglia.

A lovely atmosphere will frame the fascinating universe that awakens at nightfall and comes alive under the starry sky. Along the way you’ll have the chance to  listen to the legends related to the night owls and their representation over time, not to mention the moths and the ecological role of insects in ecosystems.

Then, in the moonlit you’ll be enchanted by the stories that bind the land of Puglia with Olives, as well as the stories and myths related to it.

Along the trail you’ll stop and listen to the night sounds of nature, mixed up with the irresistible music performed by the Ensemble "Suoni della Terra (Sounds of Earth)" to accompany the charming dancers "Le Ancelle di Bacco (The Servants of Bacchus)”.

At the end of the walk, participants will stop and taste a menu based on: friselline of Senatore Cappelli wheat with tomato and organic extra virgin olive oil of the olive-growing plain of Ostuni, wine, olives, cheeses with honey produced in the Park , fruit.

Reservation is required. For information and reservations please call 3286598638 (Daniela).
