The Best Market I've Found in Sicily | Catania

"Let me know in the comments if you are part of cheap glasses gang." I found the market I'd been missing. Fish, bread, cheese, blood oranges, people shouting over each other, and it is absolutely packed on a random Tuesday at noon. I also found a pair of sunglasses I wanted. The seller said 25 or 10 euros, which is a big spread. Then my card wouldn't work, two banks in a row had nothing, and by the time I got back with cash I was fully prepared for the price to have become 20. He gave me my change. We talked about Senegal, where he's from, and now I'm thinking seriously about an Africa trip after Europe. Catania, Sicily. Day 2 of 7.
