The raw material for weaving is made from wool, linen and, above all, by the broom, which is collected on the slopes of the Aspromonte and naturally processed by the same weavers using manual labor. Walking through the narrow streets of Bova you can still hear the ticking of the old weaving machine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To conclude: to know Bova is to know the past of a glorious population that was the Greeks!<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>TRAVELING TO CALABRIA IS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE,<\/strong> BUT BEING A REGION WITH A SMALL TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE FOR FOREIGNERS, IT IS NOT SO SIMPLE TO VISIT THIS AMAZING PLACE WITHOUT ANY HELP, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON\u2019T SPEAK ITALIAN.<\/p>\n<p>HIRING OUR SERVICES YOU <strong>WILL BE ABLE TO ADMIRE EVERYTHING THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL AND SPETACULAR REGION HAS TO OFFER!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ENJOY EVERY SINGLE MOMENT BY HIRING THE SERVICES OF A PROFESSIONAL THAT CAN GIVE YOU THE GUARANTEE OF THE BEST SERVICE.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>WHY EXPERIENCE STRESSFUL TIMES ON YOUR SO DREAM VACATION IF YOU CAN HAVE EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE FOR THE BEST COST &#8211; BENEFIT?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR RATES, \u2018MY GUIDE\u2019 SERVICES, TOURIST ESCORTING, INTERPRETER OR ASSISTANCE TO FIND THE DOCUMENTS OF YOUR RELATIVES CALABRESES, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourtraveltocalabria.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EMAIL<\/a><\/strong> ME!<\/p>\n<p>SEARCH, COMPARE AND CHOOSE!
