My Sardinia

If you’re craving for the best Amaro liqeuer, torrone chocolates, and other such goodies to set your taste buds into a frenzy, there’s only one place to get them all: the Cagliari market. The market has all the native Sardinian delicacies you are looking for, along with other local products like handpainted pottery, woolen rugs and artisanal knives.

This market is held every December. It is when many stallholders come together to display all their best products in the spirit of the Holidays. The Cagliari market is usually held near the port area and the Poetto beach, approximately on the center of the town. The great atmosphere is definitely amplified by the warm Mediterranean climate that contrast the winter season very well.

The sight of a number of bright and colorful products mixed with the pleasant aroma of the various food and drinks create a surreal sensation. With products like bread, wine and salami added with the trademark favorite of the island, pecorino cheese, the Cagliari market is the true place to taste the island’s identity.The fish products of the island also speak for themselves quite deliciously.

Sardinia’s handcrafted products are on full display in the Cagliari market, each one making for an ideal Christmas gift. Pots, rugs, filigree jewelry, wooden chests, wicker baskets and many others are beautifully and uniquely designed that anyone would appreciate having them.

The location of the market makes it great to enjoy the local cuisine and take in the gorgeous views after a long day of shopping.
