Pilates week 2014 in the stunning Tuscan countryside : September is probably one of the best months to go and visit Lucca because it's the month where the city celebrates its patron saint, the "Volto Santo" . The day of the celebration is the 14th of September, and the night before (the 13th) a big historic procession goes through the principal streets and squares of the city, which are all lighted by thousands of candles (it's called Luminara). A fireworks display follows the procession . On the 14th a big market is held just outside the city wall and a "Luna-Park" (itinerant amusement park) stays in town for the entire month. A lots of events and expositions are organised in Lucca during September. This is why I have chosen to start the Pilates week on these dates, 13th to 20th September 2014. For those who want to be collected from Lucca airport these are the flights we recommend : Ryanair
Stansted-Pisa FR584 13th September 0820/1135
Pisa-Stansted FR583 20th September 1920/2040
Easyjet
Gatwick-Pisa EZY5233 13th September 0850/1205
Pisa-Gatwick EZY5236 20th September 2145/2250
BA
Heathrow-Pisa BA0604 13th September 0850/1200
Pisa-Heathrow BA0607 20th September 1950/2100
There are cheaper flights if you prefer and you can get a train to Lucca from the airport for only a few euros! Looking forward to seeing you … Arnaldo.

These flowers which I walked past this morning made me think about the walks we can do in the beautiful Tuscan countryside surrounding the area where we will do the Pilates week in Lucca. The colours and the smells are outstanding and the view from the top of the hills are fantastic!

SOOOOOOO looking forward to this year's trip and I hope you are looking forward to it also. We now have even more people coming and just a few beds left so hurry if you haven't paid your deposit yet.

Anthony Diamond and I are working on the plan for classes and excursions at the moment and it's looking great - we'll let you know more about this soon! xx
