We're at the capo market in palermo
And this place is buzzing with everything from the smell of fish and fresh fruit to all kinds of people everywhere
We are gonna check this out
Uh
Oh
This is quite possibly the freshest vegetable stand I have ever seen
With things i've never seen before
Oh my gosh, wow
So fragrant
In place of gum right spearmint
Oh wow
Very good, very fragrant
It's spicy even the mint even the mint is spicy here at capo margarita
Buying groceries like this is amazing here in palermo. The people are out. This is how you buy groceries here. This is so incredible
Wow gosh
Want some mint
I'm trying to do magic here
Eat it
Look at the meat
Chicken sausage prime rib
Oh my gosh, look at all this incredibly amazing salted food
Yeah, look at the salted fish I want to try one frutto del capero
And the salted capers and the anchovies
So the interesting thing is, you know, I was looking at these capers and saying you know, why are they in the salt?
That's so use unusual. That's so different. I love the capers the caper berries. Well back home
You'll find them in the jars in brine. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Um
And here the capers are preserved in the air by keeping them packed in the salt instead of a juice instead of a brine
pretty cool
Oh my gosh the olives
Can I get just a mix of olives
For what your olives? Yeah. Oh really two euro. I think that's what he said takes him home guys. Thanks so much
Finally get my alice
This is something you cannot miss having in palermo our sicilian olives
All right, all right my first hardcore sicilian oliver
It's so good it is so juicy a little bit of heat to it super salty awesome
Look at the roasted red peppers
Potatoes in water
So this street market puts every other street market i've ever been to to shame it is
one long street of food stand after food stand
absolutely phenomenal
Broccoli and pastella
Wow, it looks beautiful
So how cool is this at this market stand here there is a bale of
snails and from what I understand
You can literally buy them and eat them right out of the shell alive
Oh
Today is all about street food in palermo
So I started out the day at capo market, which is one of a few markets here in the city
and this is a really cool market because
It is loaded with stand after
stand pastas
olives meats cheeses and fried italian or excuse me fried sicilian
Delicacies the place is hopping with energy
Now when you come to kappa market
The reason why we came was because we wanted to really see the buzz and the energy of a typical sicilian street market
Getting here was really easy. You could just put it in your iphone or android and google how to get here and
Really from the ruggero settimo area of palermo
It's only about a 10 to 11 minute walk to get here. So it's pretty simple and it's one big street
lined with stand after stand
We came here to the market because I wanted to get a taste of authentic palermo and there's no better way to do that
Than coming to the capo street market
Another tip when you come to the markets, especially when you're walking around cobblestone streets
Make sure you've got tennis shoes on you do not want to be wearing sandals as tempting as it is because it is super hot
Don't do it
Look at this beautiful cathedral incredible
Head southwest on piazza say tangely then turn right onto via matteo, bonello
Take a lefty
So
we're walking from the
capital market now to the famous
bellaro market
So I am really excited to see what this is about. I believe it's the biggest market here in palermo
And I have to tell you the walk is actually quite nice
We're um sneaking around different alleyways, but the alleyways have these huge stone pavers in them
And people are everywhere cars are passing you by this feels like a very safe city
I'm, not feeling uh nervous at all. And um
It's just incredibly charming
Take a ride on the colo delegates then at 700 feet take a left on via giovanni grasso
Do you need to sit down?
So we made it to balero market and we haven't gone yet because we need to stop for just a quick
Refresher because the wok is super hot. And of course, there's nothing like having an apparel spritz just outside the market
at an authentic
sicilian
Chaturia, this is really
local
Salud
You feeling better a little bit yeah, I need that
You think you were having like a heat stroke or something
I'm not making fun. I'm, just curious you think you're having a heat stroke. No, no, he's starting. No just
Carrying the pack and sweating and
Do you need to eat something no. I'm? Okay right. Now, what time is it? Anyway? What time is it? Uh
11 19
You know, what's funny about palermo is
This is definitely
A city you walk in you'll find mopeds everywhere cars everywhere people everywhere, but I think the best way to get around the city
is walking everything seems to be
very close and distant so you can easily walk from point a to point b
and
frankly, don't you think that ryan don't you think that um,
I mean when you walk around here, you're really seeing everything, you know, yeah, it's the best way to sit. Yeah
Say that again, it's the best way to see it if you walk nice and slow and take your time and look around
But how slow is slow you might ask
very slow
Yeah, I know this is a great city tourist, I think there are tourists everywhere don't you think
Italian, there are a lot of a lot of italian tourists a lot of italian tourists
A lot of loud noises. This is a loud city
Do you think?
Yeah, well, the markets are the markets are loud
The markets are loud
and um
Definitely be careful. Hold on to your belongings here because we've heard um that there can be some pickpockets
so you want to be careful and um
It seems like a really fun area. So palermo's proven to be uh,
quite the town
And what's the name of this county it's taverna
So we are at piazza bolaro
Just about to go into the ballaro market stop to have a quick cocktail because we were parched and we came to this really cute
Uh tavern on the corner of the market entrance here and it's called taverna kanti and great service
rustic authentic atmosphere
You get to hear all the sounds of the market without having to be in all that craziness
and
You get to enjoy your apparel spreads?
