Not many here today-luckyColorful Old Town Market
As markets go, the market at Gundulićeva Poljana Square is not the best we have seen, but it was daily (except Sunday) and very convenient. The main market for Dubrovnik is in Gruž which is where I suspect the locals shop. If you look closely you will notice that most of what is offered here needs no preparation and can be eaten on the go. Carol and I would stop by daily for fruit and especially our favorite treat...figs on a string.
Intro Photo: This woman is surely the image of everyone's kindly grandmother, but still a shrewd saleswoman. She was our regular stop each day.Our first encounter with her was most enlightening. We had selected a few items and were about to cash out when she picked up a bag of figs and seemed to infer that we should take them as a gift. We gestured that that was not necessary but she insisted...then she proceeded to charge us full price. The 10 kuna was easily worth the value of a good story.
