If you are ever in San Diego on a Saturday, don't miss the Mercato, a gathering of 90 street vendors selling a huge variety of items produced locally, including fruits & veggies, dates, goat cheese, chocolate, nuts, sea salt, fish, bread, dips, jellies, pottery, jewelry, teas, spices, flowers and much more. Most vendors offer samples of their goods, so it can be like a giant buffet. There are also prepared food vendors selling regional cuisines. My favorites are fish tacos with grilled mahi mahi, grilled sardines on a stick, freshly pressed panini sandwiches and wide selection of European sweets.
If you go to the mercato, try to bring small denominations of cash to ease sales transactions and having your own re-usable shopping bag is a big plus. Plan to spend at least an hour meandering among the booths.
