Saracena is a mountain town in northern Calabria, located at an altitude of about 600 m above sea level, in the province of Cosenza, at the foot of the Pollino massif. The name of the town comes from the Saracens - Arab settlers who came to Calabria in the 9th century. The town is built in the "kasbah" system - dense development, narrow streets, irregular plan, houses placed wall to wall. This is a structure characteristic of Islamic cities, adapted to climatic and defensive conditions.

Cykling

Here Moscato di Saracena is made - a wine that was included in the list of traditional products of the Calabria region in 2010. It is made in small batches according to a local technique that combines the fermentation of fresh must (from the Guarnaccia and Malvasia varieties) with the addition of dried grapes (Moscatello di Saracena and Addoraca). This process has no equivalent in other regions of Italy. The grapes are dried traditionally on mats or grills. The entire production is done by hand, without industrial techniques. The wine has an intense aroma of dried apricots, spices and honey.

Cykling

The cuisine of Saracena clearly shows traces of Arab influence. Local ingredients include almonds, figs, cinnamon, anise, dried grapes and honey. An example is the traditional cannariculi cake, fried in olive oil and seasoned with cloves and citrus peel.
