What to do on the Gargano when it rains

The Gargano is one of the most beautiful tourist areas of Puglia, known above all for its beaches, its magnificent coast and its forests. However, when the weather is not favorable and it rains, it is not advisable to go on boat trips, go to the beach or explore unknown woods. On the Gargano there are many other activities to do. Here are some ideas for spending time in a pleasant way when it rains on the Gargano.

-Visit the villages of the Gargano: The Gargano is full of historic villages that contain a unique heritage of art and culture.
One of the most famous villages is that of Vieste, with its narrow streets and artisan shops, the cathedral and the Swabian castle.
One of the most famous castles of the Gargano is that of the beautiful village of Peschici, a medieval fortress overlooking the sea, which is definitely worth a visit.
Inserted in the list of "most beautiful villages in Italy” there is Vico del Gargano, a hilltop village that houses the “Museo Trappeto”, dedicated to the historic production of extra virgin olive oil.

-Surf the internet: When it rains, you can carve out some time to find out about travel stages, answer emails, relax by watching a streaming TV series and share photos and videos of your holidays on the Gargano on social media. Almost all the hotels and tourist villages offer fast wi-fi connections. However, since these networks are public, the data could be intercepted by malicious people. For greater security, I recommend using one VPN for free, even in trial mode, which also allows you to access the catalogs of streaming platforms in your country, even if you arrive from abroad and you are in Italy and to be able to check the actual prices of travel companies, avoiding price discrimination .

-Read a book: Whether you are in a holiday home or in a hotel, reading a book is another activity you can do when it rains on the Gargano. Choose a book that talks about the sea and Puglia and enjoy the sound of the rain and the stormy sea as you read it.

-Visit the Shrines: The Gargano has been a place of faith and devotion since ancient times. In the past, the passage of the Crusaders to Jerusalem required an obligatory stop on the Gargano, land of the Archangel Michael and Padre Pio. Why not take advantage of the uncertain weather to visit these places?
Among the most important spiritual places in the Gargano, fascinating even for non-believers, there is the sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo, protected by Unesco, with the cave of the Archangel Michael.
San Giovanni Rotondo is instead linked to the figure of Padre Pio. In addition to the old church of Santa Maria delle Grazie there is also the modern Sanctuary designed by Renzo Piano, where the relics of the saint can be admired.
