Visit A Sicilian Village On Market Day

In small mountain villages like Sant’Angelo Muxaro (pictured) and Licodia Eubea (where we host our Secret Sicily tour in July), “Market Day” is a significant day each week. Traveling vendors from all over Sicily set up shop in the main piazza to sell everything from fresh fish brought from the coast to vegetables from other provinces to sneakers and household goods that aren’t sold in the local stores. Planning your visit around mingling with the villagers at the market makes for a inspired day of cultural travel.
