12 A feast for the senses, Palermo's Mercato di Ballarò ( Click here ) is as much akin to
a north African bazaar as to a mainland Italian market: fruit vendors raucously hawking
their wares in Sicilian dialect, the irresistible perfume of lemons and oranges, and the
crackle of chickpea fritters emerging from the deep-fryer. Across the island, Catania's La

vendors presiding over a crush of market stalls where swordfish heads cast sidelong
glances across heaps of sardines on ice.
