Guided Tour to the Sassi of Matera in Spanish
Guided tour of the Sassi of Matera
The tour of the Sassi of Matera investigates various architectural particulars of the city of Matera in a route that, starting at the Città del Piano, crosses the Sasso Barisano, crosses the Colle della Civita revealing the splendid Romanesque cathedral, leads to the Sasso Caveoso, place where it is possible to visit several cave complexes, as well as anthropological witnesses such as cave houses, cellars and cisterns.
Trekking towards Torrente Gravina and Rupestrian Churches of the Murgia
The vast Murgia plateau facing the Sassi of Matera constitutes the Regional Park of the Rupestrian Churches of Matera, which has also been declared a World Heritage Site since 2007. It is a large rocky hilly area marked by deep karst fissures called: "Gravine". The show that appears before the eyes is truly breathtaking, since the whole inhabited area of the Sassi appears in all its splendor beyond the ravine. In a surprising and fascinating naturalistic context, following an initially somewhat steep path, accompanied by Environmental Naturalistic Guides, you descend towards the Gravina stream near which, in an area rich in vegetation, there is a characteristic Rock Church which " speaks to us” of the past. Looking up… the Sassi…. seen from the stream… amazement! Return to the Murgecchia plain and skirt the Gravina.
Food and Wine Tour between the Patriarchs Olives and the Oil Temples
We will start with a small breakfast under the patriarch olive tree, in an old countryside. Later we will go through the caverns of an ancient farmhouse. Under the centuries-old olive trees we will taste Matera bread and prepare a traditional dish from Matera, "la cialledda", which tells
of the encounter between the typical bread of Matera, now stale, and the vegetables and mixed salads of the Lucanian land.
All this will take place in a laboratory, at the end of which we will share this meal
as even today the olive pickers do in their breaks. The cialledda will be accompanied by
Primitivo wine and from the bundle containing Lucanian Slow Food Presidium products: Caciocavallo Podolico,
Baked olives from Ferrandina and Pezzente salami from the Matera mountains. We will also be cheered by the sounds of popular instruments and the songs of the Matera tradition.
