Came to Luino on a Wednesday for the weekly market. Came especially for this. After walking to town from the brand new big parking lot close to the train station we were walking around the food and produce stalls first. Ready-to eat food stalls serving sandwiches, fast and fried food, fish, seafood. Not the greatest of qualities - but cheap and cheerful. The mood and atmosphere was pretty good here, people had fun and the stall owners we met were nice, friendly and not pushy. Bought some cell phone covers, a whole bunch of scarfs, some summer shirts and dresses, an espresso machine and some nice bathroom and kitchen rugs. Before leaving we headed back to the food stalls. Shopped some spice mixes (for pasta, steaks and more), dried morels and porcini mushrooms, pear Pecorino (love it), regular salami, truffle salami and spicy salami. The meat and the cheese came from the Tuscany area - delicious stuff. Of course, there's some cheap stuff, there's some overpriced stuff. But if you bring a bit of time, then you really can get some good stuff and fair deals. We really enjoyed the mercato and were happy with our shopping. The location in Luino is wonderful, the nearby lake beautiful. A great little town with a great market. We'll be back - definitely.
