Do you want to “immerse” yourself in our historic markets and experience them firsthand? Do you want to discover the flavors of our tradition and the street<\/em> food<\/em> of Palermo? Are you curious to know the ancient origins of some of our typical dishes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tour of the Historical Markets of Palermo<\/strong> will allow you to explore the markets of Ballar\u00f2<\/strong> and Capo<\/strong>. A 3 hour walking tour of Palermo<\/strong>; I will take you through an itinerary that, before reaching the maze of narrow streets that characterize the districts of the Markets, will also give you the opportunity to admire buildings, streets and charming squares (Teatro Massimo, Via Maqueda and the \u201cQuattro Canti\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n So get ready to live a day as the locals do in Palermo and share with me this experience: you will discover another face of Palermo, a city that manages to convey its history through the markets. You\u2019ll see what a magical \u201cmixture\u201d of smells and colours the Markets of Palermo are, a journey into the past. Sometimes strong flavors but processed with simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Welcome to Ballar\u00f2 open-air market<\/strong>! Colors, abbaniate <\/em>(vendors yelling their goods), smoke of grilled food, peeled prickly pears, spices, calia<\/em> (chickpeas) and seeds<\/em> and popular food welcome you with joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ballar\u00f2<\/strong> is a market of Saracen origin that even today resembles a Middle Eastern souk<\/em>. A place that lives and has evolved and expanded over time, occupying part of the ancient district of Albergheria<\/em>; an ever changing multi-ethnic area. You will find that, by popular tradition, nothing goes to waste here. Thanks to street food<\/em>, in the markets survive ancient dishes such as stigghiola <\/em>(entrails of kid, lamb or veal) cooked on the grill or in the boiled version quarume<\/em> and the panino with the spleen<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The markets tour<\/strong> will also lead you to the Capo open-air market<\/strong>, another market of great charm. The visit will be fascinating thanks to the presence of monuments often hidden or otherwise not easily visible and perhaps for this reason even more fascinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even the Capo will conquer you with its street food<\/em>. No fear for vegetarians or for those who do not want to deal with somewhat \u201cstrong\u201d flavors. Our street food<\/em> will offer you some excellent and tasty alternatives, such as the Sicilian Pizza also known as Sfincione<\/em>, the sandwich with the panelle<\/em> (chickpea fritters), the crocch\u00e8<\/em> (potato croquettes), the famous arancine<\/em> (rice balls) and much more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Palermo markets tour Do you want to “immerse” yourself in our historic markets and experience them firsthand?
