Hilarious donkey race in Marina di Campo

Brought back from an ancient tradition, the hilarious donkey race is slowly becoming one of the important traditional celebrations in Elba. It starts with a fancy dress procession through the town and down to the beach, where the donkeys - the true protagonists - each one representing an area of the Commune, race to win the yearly prize.

There are food and wine stalls, as well as live music, along the streets of the town centre.
