Castel di Ieri is a small hilltop village in the Valle Subequana, historically built around farming and shepherding. This three-hour guided tour moves through three distinct stops, each tied to the way the village has fed itself for generations.

The tour starts in the village's communal spaces: the threshing floor where grain was processed, the stone water source that served as the daily gathering point, and the communal oven that remained central to village life well into the twentieth century. The guide traces the practical logic behind each of these places and the routines that shaped them.

From there the group moves to the local bakery workshop, where bread is still produced using the same structure and techniques the village relied on before industrial production arrived. The visit gives access to the working space rather than a display of it.

The final stop is LumacaBioSirente, a snail farm run by a young local farmer. The operation combines traditional land use with controlled breeding methods and a focus on environmental sustainability. It is one of the more unusual agricultural projects currently active in inland Abruzzo.

The tour ends with a tasting of local products from the area, giving the whole route a concrete conclusion rather than just a visual one.

The tour is fully accessible for people with reduced mobility.
