Sulmona

Lots of shops along the main street sell Confetti, the local speciality of highly colourful sugar coated almonds. The Pelino museum and factory can be visited for free on Via Stazione Introdacqua 55.

Boutiques of Corso Ovidio

The main street is lined with fashion boutiques, from large names such as Sisley and Benetton to local brands like Carpisa and Chagall. Plenty of shoe shops.

Markets

The weekly markets sell vegetables, meats and local produce, as well as a hit-and-miss selection of furniture and antiques. Look out for local farmers and their families with a couple of jars of honey or a few cloves of garlic for sale on an upturned crate.
