San Benedetto market

The B&B owner told me that the San Benedetto market was one of the largest covered markets in Italy and had one floor devoted to seafood, which makes sense for an island.

Sardinia also produces fine wines.

Unfortunately seafood and any uncooked food in general was not something I could buy to take away, only to enjoy served in trattorias.

Ittici, singular ittico, is of course descended from Greek ichthys.

Sardinian baked goods.

Breads are of course good in Sardinia and Italy in general.

Pretty big specimens.

I didn't buy any pomegranates but I did buy a kilo of cachi, also known as kaki, of the persimmon family.

Sant'Antioco markets

Back in town, I looked in on a market. Besides bric-a-brac there were a handful of produce stalls.

Sarde means of Sardinia.

I took lunch at this restaurant opposite the esplanade. I think it was allied with the fishermen's coop.

The standard spaghetti alla cozze (clams). I also had a salad. Very good and filling. Well worth the splurge.
