We went with a group by bus only 5K away to a town names Fuegirano. They have an open market every Wednesday. You would not believe how HUGE this market is and all of the different products folks were selling. We liked best the produce. It is one reason we went. The most beautiful tomatoes; big and bright red. Layers and layers of nuts of various kinds. Yes, we bought some. Baskets and purses, dresses and scarves, shoes and all kinds of knock-off brands. We purchased a hand-made- in France straw bag ( purse-like) to carry home our goods. Tons of people were there shopping. It was really a mob.
After looking around for an hour or better, it was time to go eat tapas with the group. Our guide had a real good place in mind that knows the resort and they did a nice job of taking care of the large number of us.
While sitting with the beginning beer, we mentioned that we planned to go back to purchase our produce and use our new bag to bring it all home. Only thing is, the market closed before we could get back, so home we went with nuts, a hair comb, a scarf and an empty straw bag! We met some neat folks from England and they showed us the ropes to go to a mega supermarket and how to catch the bus home. We had a good day and did arrive home with some food for the refer. We hope there is another market at another place.
You goofballs!! Seize ye tomatoes while ye can!! :). I'm sure you will find another wonderful market somewhere else. Meanwhile you have a great bag, a comb, and a scarf! And some new friends, it sounds like. Fun!
ReplyDeleteYou must be having a great time! No news in a week!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I'm not surprised that you left the market without all the produce you would've like ... somewhat like leaving behind the sandwiches for a hike. It's just the "Daniels way." :) At least you have a story to take with you, and a good time to remember!
