Historical markets and street food - Historical markets and street food
The way to say 'speak how you eat is more than right for Palermo. Gastronomy here has its roots in Arab domination. Typical food is poor food. That's why Palermo is queen of street food. Going through colorful historical markets and most monumental places in the center, you will discover the culture that hides behind these delicious foods, from salty to sweet. Find my contacts on my site. I am Angela Salplaggio, licensed guide.

Chef-led Palermo Market Tours
5
What makes this experience stand apart from others is the benefit of having a chef by your side. As someone who shops daily in the markets, I have the expertise and experience to properly explain the importance of seasonal and regional cuisine, traditional recipes, and the island's most treasured artisanal products. Our interactions with trusted purveyors are enjoyable because the people we work with and choose to support are kind, knowledgable, and reliable. Personal connections are very important here in Sicily. Respect for the people, culture, and land are our utmost priorities.

Symbol of Italianness and the good life, with an incomparable charm given by the delicious "reinterpretation" made by master craftsmen skilled in the automotive sector, it will allow your customers to drive, not only in places of interest, but also in food and wine tours, allowing you to get to know small realities, inserted in rural contexts that today more than ever attract lovers of healthy living.
