PUGLIA – One in three Apulians (31%) has chosen to take a walk, a trip out of town or a picnic day at the seaside or in the countryside on the occasion of April 25th, despite the fact that in Puglia the risk of uncertain weather remains and temperatures drop are sharply lowered. This is what emerges from the analysis of Coldiretti Puglia in the farmers’ markets of Campagna Amica which for the Liberation Day organized the perfect picnic day with traditional but also vegetarian ‘solutions’ for all tastes.
In the perfect basket, rural sandwiches with capocollo and caciocavallo cannot be missing – says Coldiretti Puglia on the basis of consumer choices at farmers’ markets – but in the Campagna Amica agribag there are also sandwiches with pickles, such as artichokes and dried tomatoes, enriched with salads, as well as cheeses and cured meats, savory pizzas, rustici, focaccias and fruit, all ‘washed down’ with local wine or farm beer.
Driven by the desire of citizens to be outdoors, even braving bad weather, it is precisely trips out of town, walks and picnics that are popular – underlines Coldiretti Puglia – among those who have chosen to leave the house for the anniversary, but there is no shortage of those who have decided to visit relatives and friends (12%) or to protect themselves from bad weather by visiting museums, exhibitions and exhibitions (4%).
There is a strong push towards local tourism, with the rediscovery of small villages and minor centers which – underlines the regional Coldiretti – allow the desire for tranquility to be combined with the possibility of enjoying larger spaces of freedom away from cities or places busiest tourist spots. Furthermore, Coldiretti Puglia continues, there is a strong push towards conviviality at the table with the desire to be together with relatives and friends in homes, at restaurants, on open-air picnics or on a farm where guests will choose to spend the holiday weekend. April 25th with the opportunity to take the traditional picnic away from the cities without giving up the comfort and protection from bad weather guaranteed by the hospitality of country businesses.
If zero kilometer cuisine remains the most appreciated quality, what makes one choose one of the 950 Apulian farmhouses – specifies Coldiretti Puglia on the basis of the findings of the Terranostra agritourism association – is also the offer of activities with innovative services for sportsmen, nostalgics, curious and environmentalists, as well as cultural activities such as visiting archaeological or naturalistic or wellness routes.
Many farmhouses – concludes Coldiretti Puglia – have equipped themselves for the day by offering accommodation and complete meals but also packed breakfasts or by simply making spaces available for picnics, tents, caravans and campers to meet the needs of independence for those who love preparing food independently, possibly resorting only to the purchase of Campagna Amica company’s zero-kilometre products.
