EXCURSIONS

This small village appears almost unexpectedly, between the
green mountains and hill tops. The houses seem to have been
built almost on top of each other, starting from a natural valley going on to
the rocks. It is particular in twisted alleyways that intercept each
other going from the houses to the small shops to the ancient
Mother Church. The town's
piazza houses a
recently built Gazebo where
you can admire a breathtaking view of the high green
mountains that cross each other creating a natural frame for
the Tyrrhenian that can be spotted in the distance.
Buonvicino celebrates a very
important event that brings many visitors to this small
town
during the feast for "Santo Ciriaco"
in Buonvicino-Cosenza, the inhabitants (about 3000 of population)
create a respectful combination of praying and reverence with music,
dancing and eating; this feast lasts five days and five nights in
the "paese" (town center) but begins
with a "Town Picnic" down at the "Grotto of Santo Ciriaco"
where the Saint used to pass his days praying.
