One of the joys of spending time in Italy is its open-air markets, everything, from the aroma of porchetta to the vibrant colours of sun-ripened produce, feeds the senses as you soak up the atmosphere. A day at the market is a unique way to observe the day-to-day lifestyle of the locals and, whenever possible, should be included in a tour of the Bel Paese.The most famous Palermo market is the Vucciria. In the local dialect, Vucciria means “voices” or “hubbub” which is certainly one way to find the market – just listen out for the noise as everyone haggles back and forth! It flows through the side streets around Piazza San Domenico.
