SAN PANTALEO MARKET

By Manuela | July 5, 2017 | InBlog, General, Uncategorized

I have just been to Sardegna for a few days, to catch up with friends and family.
At the same time, I did a spot of research for our Sardinian dinner at’ Bei Amici Restaurant’ in Sydney in September.
I have a very soft spot for Sardegna and especially San Pantaleo, a little typical village, nestled at the foot of the mountains of the ‘ Seven Sisters’.
Every Thursday morning, San Pantaleo has a fabulous market in the beautiful square. You can find all sorts of traditional weaving, fashion, hats, curiosities and so on, but the best for me, is the food.

I have put together a few pictures, to try and give you the sense of some of the food stalls.
