Baloon vendor

The main feast, la festa del ventuno. the feast of the 21st of August is a three day event starting on August 19 with a boat procession in the harbor and a huge procession in the town concluding with a very nice fireworks display. Of course, even before the 19th, the so called bancarelle, or vendor stalls are set up. They sell all sorts of items. Some typical and folkloric  and other typically Chinese mostly cheap toys for children. These hark back to the times when fairs were very popular. Nevertheless they are very entertaining especially to youngsters, I peruse the book sellers and the really local food stalls that have the kind of delicacies for the initiated.
