An immersive walk with Mimmo
Tailor-made Card 1 Hashtags: #alberobello #trulli #food #walking #likealocal #nowherelse #indigenus Duration: half-day Location: Alberobello
Description Almost everyone knows what a “trullo” is but perhaps only a few do actually know why a building should have such weird structure and why they are typical of this area. What almost nobody knows is why we are so proud of a village like Alberobello and that is why we offer an experience with Mimmo, our local friend and great connoisseur of the Apulian traditions. He will drive you through narrow streets and alleys that he knows as his own pocket, tell you anecdotes and fun facts of the village so that you will jump in the past having a sense of what it feels like to be Apulian. You will delve into the authentic life of the village and, together with Mimmo, you will have the chance to visit a private trullo-museum, which is very uncommon since trulli always have a private owner and it is so hard to walk in. As a successful completion of the experience you will taste some traditional food specialties and a glass of local wine, getting even more familiar with the Apulian slow-living style.
