Bari Vecchia
Bari Vecchia (Old Bari) is a dense maze of narrow alleys behind the Basilica di San Nicola, famous for the nonnas (grandmothers) who make fresh orecchiette pasta on tables in the streets. Free to walk. The pasta-making happens daily on Strada delle Orecchiette (Via Arco Basso). Budget travelers walk through the old town, watch the nonnas work, buy fresh pasta for a few euros, and see a living tradition that no tourist attraction can replicate.
