Candles were blessed to enlighten congregations. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BOOK NOW\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Read more about Abruzzo Sister Tours on our Abruzzo Directory \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n « All Events\n \n \n \n \n This event has passed. \n \n \n \n \n \n Teramana Flavours & Candelora Golden Hour Spectacle – Abruzzo Sister Tours \n \n \n \n \n \n 2 February\n\n \n\n @ \n\n\n14:00\n\n \n\n\n\n \n - \n\n18:00\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n€35 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n Categories: \n Tours & Excursions\, Food & Wine \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tags: \n \n chitarra\,\n\n TE\,\n\n February in Abruzzo\,\n\n lunch\,\n\n spectacle\,\n\n nature\,\n\n castel castagne\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Website: \n https://lifeinabruzzo.com/product/teramana-flavours-golden-hour-spectacle/\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Abruzzo Sister Tours \n \n\n \n \n \n +39 350 0816 445 \n \n\n\n View Organiser Website \n\n\n \n \n sonya@abruzzosistertours.com \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Castel Castagne \n \n \n \n\nLargo S.
