One of the most authentic food festivals in the Vibo Valentia area, dedicated to sujaca, the traditional local bean, in a village just a few minutes from Tropea.
The Sagra da Sujaca in Caria is one of the most characteristic experiences for anyone who wants to discover the authentic inland side of the Costa degli Dei. Sujaca, the local traditional bean, represents a simple rural cuisine deeply connected to the history of the area. Caria di Drapia is in an ideal position for visitors staying in Tropea, Santa Domenica, Ricadi or Capo Vaticano: in just a few minutes you can leave the coast behind and enter a village where summer has a different rhythm, more local and genuine. The evening is made of simple dishes, music, people meeting in the square and a strong community atmosphere. It is the right festival for those who are not just looking for “somewhere to eat”, but want to experience a real piece of Calabria. WeDei tip Combine the evening with a short tour of the inland area of Drapia. It is a great opportunity to discover a different side of the Costa degli Dei, less touristy but much more authentic.
