The streets are often congested as farmers bring their fresh produce to town to sell, and you can haggle at the various markets over fresh veggies, fruits, and clothing. After your arms are loaded with local goodies, you can retreat to one of the many family-owned cafes that line the streets for a mouth-watering regional meal.
