The Story to live together

The Saurian carnival is one of the most ancient and characteristic events of the village of Sauris and is open to all those who share its values. To participate in the next edition you can apply throughout the year but you have to know that you must pass a theoretical and practical examination in front of the appropriate commission of the cultural circle.

Do you want to get the approval of the cultural club to participate in the next carnival?
Submit your application in time and Lucia will assist you to help you play the role of an original saurian mask!

Lucia, Experiential Travel Operator

Hi, I’m Lucia, I live in Sauris and I’m in charge of her small ethnographic museum. I am very attached to my community and I like to tell its origins, history, legends, and traditions. In this story, my task is to prepare you to pass the entrance exam to the next edition of the Carnival of Sauris. I’ll be waiting for you!
