Markets

The following markets I’ve visited recently, and are recommend for their unique quality of produce as well as cheerfulness. The stands appear like Comedia de l’Arte theatre troups suddenly from Tuesday to Sunday at dawn, and offer a sight for the eye.

I should point out that at times some of them are Bio-markets, those that sell exclusively organic food. You can have a feast and make your mouth water; between 9 AM and 1 PM.
