Cantacastello

At the weekend we visited a nearby village, San Mariano to attend 'Cantacastello', (singing in the castle) an open air play set around the streets of the village. 

We were guided around the streets which were lit by hundreds of candles in glass jars as musicians played and actors dressed in medieval costume acted out various scenes. 

There was such a magical and romantic atmosphere and it really felt like we had stepped back in time. 

The grand finale of the show was a sword fight by the walls of the castle. 

Just 2 more sleeps until we leave for Scotland! We'll be gone for 2 months but I have great intentions of posting regularly while we're away. We'll see! 

Lots of love, 

Sarah Elizabeth
