  • 45 min drive from Lecce Torrepaduli di Ruffano Ruffano, Puglia Italy (map)

Festa di San Rocca - ‘The festival of the Patron Saint Rocca in Torrepaduli’. Tiny village festival that is very popular, mixes traditional religious/pagan music and dancing (a particular one called ‘the dance of the swords’) with rural farming culture, as well as more modern elements. Expect lots of folk music/pizzica, tambourines, traditional lights/processions and strong earthy food and wine.
