Where
What is it and where is Dasà
Imagine going up the hills of Vibo Valentia, where the air begins to get cooler and the scent of the sea gives way to that of chestnut trees and centuries-old olive trees. Here, set like an ancient gem in the heart of the Calabrian Pre-Serre, lies Dasà. It is not just a village; it is a tale made of stone, eloquent silences and a proud resilience.
Why it is special: the historic center of Dasà
Dasà welcomes you with its maze of narrow alleys, the "wrinkles," where time seems to have made a pact of non-belligerence with modernity. As you walk through the center, your gaze inevitably falls on the aristocratic palaces and granite portals, witnesses to a prosperous past and craftsmanship that is a rare commodity today.
Not to be missed: the soul of the community and the "Ncrinata"
If there is one thing that defines the identity of this place, it is the deep sense of the sacred, which culminates in the evocative "Ncrinata" during the Easter season. It is a moment of almost palpable intensity, where the community comes together in a ritual that blends faith, folklore and a sense of belonging that touches the heartstrings of even the most detached traveler.
Curiosity: at the table to discover "liquid gold"
As a traveler, you know that a place is also known at the table. Dasà is no exception and will delight you with the dishes of the Tradizione Contadina: dishes that are poor but rich in contrasts, where chili peppers and legumes seasoned with the real "Local Liquid Gold," extra virgin olive oil, the fruit of a generous land but which tells stories of generations linked to the land, to hard work but, above all, to hospitality.
