Right outside the old part of town you have a big open market that is a combination of fruit and vegetable market and a market that sells more touristy stuff like jewellery.
It´s a good place if you want to stuck up on some fresh fruit for lunch.
Prices are resonable and the market is very colorful and right in the center of town.

In the afternoon, the market is still open and working. There are less customers than in the morning and it is easier to stroll from one booth to the other, among garlands of garlic, basket of tomatoes and onions.

This is a wide known hot red paprika from Istria.

This "no name" shop is situated on the road in outskirts of Rovinj. I was attracted by the hanging bottles coloured in vivid colours.
