Description
38th edition of this traditional festival!
Through the traditional carts, visitors will discover the skills and trades of days gone by: seed sowers, washerwomen, olive pickers, lace makers, wool spinners, schoolteachers, fruit and vegetable vendors—not to mention work in the vegetable garden, the barnyard, and the kitchen.
