Guest access indoor parking and free use of bicycles Other things to note In Torrepaduli, moreover, every year, on the night between August 15 and 16, the churchyard hosts hundreds and hundreds of pilgrims who come to honor the Saint, while in the air resounds the incessant rhythm of the tambourines, beaten by the blindfolded hands of the players. They mark the time for the dancers because only here, in this small town in the heart of lower Salento, does the "sword dance" come to life again. It is a complex ritual in which the dancers mime with strong gestures of the arms and the use of the index and middle fingers, a sort of rustic duel: provocation, attack, defense, feints, and forbidding blows that mark the struggle. It is impossible to describe the Feast of San Rocco in Torrepaduli to those who have never participated in this special event, which is experienced as a sudden "kidnapping": the river of people, the "ronde", the songs and dances, the deep and magical sound of the tambourine. It cannot be put into words, but you immediately sense it by looking at the many, many spectators who, in front of the Sanctuary, witness the magic. Only when the bells toll does everything come to a halt. The "rondes" suddenly dissolve as they began, and in the sparkling morning air, goodbye cries ring out, with the promise of meeting again next year. Registration Details IT075064C200057152
