Pizzica dinner show at a masseria in Caprarica di Lecce
Summer Thursdays: Salento food, a glass of rosé and live music striking up by the pool.
What you do
Pizzica is Salento's folk dance, and it is far better felt up close than watched on a screen. This evening brings it to your table, in the masseria's restaurant by the pool.
Dinner is a traditional Salento menu with a glass of the masseria's own rosé. While you eat, a traditional music group plays and pizzica dancers take the floor. If your feet start moving, go with it.
The evening lasts about two and a half hours. In summer it runs on Thursdays at 8pm, from June to September; groups can book it year round on request.
By bike
It makes a great finale to a day in the saddle. Collect your bike for free in Lecce, San Foca or Calimera, ride your self-guided route with GPX and roadbook, and arrive in Caprarica di Lecce in time for dinner. The bike stays locked with the lock in your kit.
It will be dark when the music stops: lights come with every rental, along with a helmet. If you would rather not ride after a glass of wine, keep this one for an evening without the bike.
