SAGRE
The “sagra” is a traditional village fête attended by all the locals at which they eat, drink, dance and celebrate the joy of life into the early hours of the morning! It is a unique and unmissable experience, and during the summer you can go almost every evening to a different sagra.
Of particular note is San Luca and the Settimane Montefalchesi. www.umbriasagre.com
