All the world and his wife, it seems, flock to Modica Bassa on the last Sunday morning of the month for the open air antiques market and, on a sunny day, strolling from stall to stall is a pleasant way to pass the time. Here you can find everything from a vintage Vespa to furniture to stamps. Had I but space enough and dosh, reader, I might have returned with a dresser, a settle and an enormous statue of San Giorgio.

There's nothing like browsing markets like those. I shudder to think what I would buy with greater funding!
What a fun way to spend a Sunday. But, just how much room do you have in your home? You can only bring home so much!!!
I never could resist those places. Simply love old jewels, dishes, silverware....what have you and not....I actually had an eye for useful, beautiful tid-bits. Stopped just 4-5 years ago when too much became too much. Nice to see you have same type of markets in Sicily.
Any interesting jewellery?
I always find such markets absolutely fascinating.
It's a wonder you have any room to move about, Welshcakes.
Hi, jams. I'd buy the whole place! Hi, Carmen. That's just it - I don't have the space and that's just as well as I don't have the money either! Hi, Claude. I love looking at these objects too, although I find it sad in a way. I wish I was the kind of person who could do things up without spoiling them. Hi, WW. Yes, there was quite a lot. Hi, LindyLouMac. Yes, I could spend all day in them. Hi, James. If I had the money to buy the stuff, it would be impossible here!
