Sarnano Market

I was up early as I wanted to catch the 8.20 bus to Sarnano for the Thursday morning market. The only problem with taking local buses is that there isn't a return until lunchtime which usually means time to kill waiting to come back. But without a hire car it's the only option. Sarnano is another walled medieval town but if you didn't veer from the road that runs through it, you would never know that the historic centre, with its steep lanes, exists. The stalls in the main square are very similar to the ones at San Ginesio on a Sunday, in fact some are the very same as they do the rounds of all the daily markets in this area. The difference with Sarnano is that in the main car park there is also a big food section selling fruit, veg, fish (fresh and fried) and plants. It's half day closing in San Ginesio today so I made sure to buy lunch at the market as the bus would be arriving back after closing time. I then wandered around the old town, visited an exhibition of local artists and eventually settled in a cafe with a book waiting for the bus back. The sun has returned and I think this afternoon is going to be lazy (again).
