Mercato madness

Thursday or "Giovedi" in Italian is Market Day in San Pantaleo. The somewhat sleepy, tranquil village of San Pantaleo goes from having some hustle and bustle around the Piazza of a morning and evening to outright madness in no time at all every Thursday. This is especially so during the peak months of summer. Put simply, it is sheer chaos. 

It seems like every man, woman, child, dog, cat, even rabbit within a 50km radius (mostly from around the Costa Smeralda, Olbia and Tempio) descend on San Pantaleo until approx 2pm every Thursday.  From fresh fruit and vegetables to cheeses and cured meats to sweets and biscuits, to clothing, accessories and art, this famous market has something for everyone and animal.  I heart SP. 

Ciao ciao for now x
