Culinary holidays and Tours of the Medieval Umbria - June 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 14, 2011 -- This amazing cooking vacation is a great way to experience a little bit of the Umbrian Medieval life !

Bevagna is a small town in Umbria. It's a charming and picturesque walled town, that was an important place in ancient Roman days, situated along the Via Flaminia. It's also home to a festival called Mercato Delle Gaite. For a few days each spring, the town is time-warped back to the middle ages. If you visit during this time, you'll find quite a different place than normal! The townspeople are all dressed in medieval garb, and the locals are very much into the spirit of the event. As you wander through the streets, you'll find all sorts of unusual activities underway, from falconry, to blacksmithing, to paper making. The town is historically divided into four quarters, "Le Gaite". These neighborhoods compete against each other in different events as part of the festival, and there's a real rivalry between them.
The Packages includes guided visit of Assisi, wine tour in the land of Sagrantino wine and visit to the marked of Gaite: along the most suggestive streets and corners of the city, the population involves itself in the organization of handicraft shops, of typical markets of antique times
