The truth is that everyone loves pasta, whether it is long like spaghetti and linguine or short like penne and fusilli. It is a simple but extraordinary food, a symbol of Made in Italy and the pride of Campania. So why not treat yourself to an excursion to Gragnano, the city of pasta par excellence, and discover all its secrets, including history, tradition and authentic flavors?
Gragnano is world famous for its artisanal production of pasta. Here you will have the opportunity to visit one of its historic pasta factories, true workshops where master pasta makers transform simple ingredients into authentic masterpieces. You will be able to observe up close the preparation of pasta, admire the care and skill with which it is processed and shaped into a wide variety of shapes, each with its own history and function. During the visit, you will also discover the pasta factory museum, with vintage machinery that tells the story of the city's long tradition, and you will not miss the opportunity to taste the freshly made pasta, fragrant and with a unique flavor.
After the pasta factory tour, the hike continues to the picturesque Valley of the Mills, a place where time seems to stand still. Here one can admire dreamlike landscapes and the remains of ancient mills, where for more than six centuries wheat was transformed into flour and pasta, fueling the tradition that still makes Gragnano famous today. Walking among these ancient structures, one breathes an atmosphere suspended between history and nature, between the echo of the waters that fed the mills and the silence of the surrounding woods.
The route then continues to the picturesque hamlet of Castello, with its narrow streets and breathtaking views, where you can feel the authentic soul of the town and its people. Every nook and cranny tells ancient stories and traditions that have been handed down for generations, in a setting that combines culture, history and scenic beauty.
At the conclusion of this immersive day, it will be possible to have lunch in a typical local restaurant, savoring pasta dishes prepared according to the most authentic artisanal methods.
From the choice of ingredients to the perfect cooking, each course will be a sensory experience that combines taste, tradition and history, making this trip to Gragnano unforgettable.
