Fishing Experience - Trabucco Punta S. Croce

The historical Gargano Trabucchi are centuries old and are recognized as a historical and cultural heritage of the Puglia Region. They were the undisputed protagonists of the fishing economy on the Gargano until the mid-twentieth century and have to tell a thousand stories of fishing, of hard fatigue, of the hopes of generations of skilled fishermen and, above all, of human ingenuity reaching out to a friendly sea. and generous but, at the same time, merciless and destructive. On the trabucco of Punta S. Croce you can watch and participate in fishing as it was in the past (without engines, eco-soundings, computers, etc.) helping the "Mastri Trabuccolanti" (guardians of the ancient art of building and fishing a trabucco) to operate the winches, to pull the nets and to collect the fish. In short, you will be able to attend and be the protagonist of a unique show in the world: that of traditional fishing on a Trabucco Storico Garganico. A small refreshment (rustic pizza, taralli, wine, olives, water) will be offered between one fishing trip and another to chat more amiably.
