Enchanting trebuchet - Visited the trebuchet without knowing what was waiting for us, we instead discovered the hospitality and tradition of Apulian fishermen concentrated in just over two hours. An incredible historical overview of the Trabucchi, their birth, traditions, linked to the intimate and sentimental memories of the guides, who after welcoming us and wrapped with their sympathy and simplicity offered us a rich aperitif based on typical products. Thanks to Luigi who made us feel at home. The best experience of this stay, in a town like Vieste that takes you to heart.

Very good experience!! I recommend it - A spectacular experience. The unbeatable attention. I recommend it to everyone... you can not leave Puglua without seeing a trabuco !!

The top - The visit at sunset was spectacular. We took many photos and listened with pleasure to the explanation of traditional fishing, even trying to fish…

Too bad not in French - Everything was fine except that the whole explanation was in Italian and neither English nor French. pity we understood nothing.

Total disappointment - I state that the reservation was made on their website (The Rebirth of Historical Trabucchi ) and was scheduled at the trebuchet San Lorenzo instead took place at trebuchet Scialmarino (promptly communicated by the mobile number on their site . Other than what they write on their website about : <> assist and participate in fishing on the trebuchet as they used to! Yes !.... an insignificant net of a few meters pulled up from the sea, by hand by 1 gentleman , with 2 blue crabs (attraction for babies not even children, who by the way along with all adults were disappointed ) with about 50 people on the trebuchet with the organizers collecting 18 € per person in cash (so by message they recommended to bring them also counted) . The non-profit organization that organizes the events , should revise what it writes , because also write (I always pick up from their website) : that they will be offered an aperitif (and there is ) between a fishing trip and the other ...... if for them pull a small net is called a joke ! And then the trebuchet net bent and tied as if it had been there for a long time and unused! Perhaps they open it to show in their spots and attract tourists ; and the sea on August 14 at 18:00 was calm and allowed it. If you want to cash in as a non-profit organization and show what the world wants to see is us Apulians we want to show , do an examination (even of conscience ) for 18 € you can take an aperitif on different trebuchets and visit them (restaurants ) and without illusion of seeing the trebuchets in operation ; because that is what the user expects .... Because you spell it out and take responsibility
