Plac (The Market)

My host mom and I visited the Plac (Market) to look around and pick up a few items.

The Plac is popular morning market as well as a gathering place. Saturday and Sunday mornings are most crowded. We didn't go until late morning so it was less crowded.

You can find fresh cottages and cheeses, eggs, vegetables, bread products, spices, meats, seafood, and imported fruits.

There are also stalls that sell clothing, crafts, shoes and other miscellaneous items.

Sausages and other meats hanging on the wall.
Nearing closing time so not all tables are occupied.

Potatoes!
Pretty spring flowers.


An old but working scale!

Fresh spices, garlic and farm eggs for sale.
Chickens.

It is common for older woman to wear headscarves such as the one the lady here is wearing.

Fresh vegetables.
Early in the morning nearly all tables are filled with products to be sold by the vendors.
