Christmas Markets 2008

For the Immaculate Conception long weekend we go to visit Uncle Alex. We seize the tempting opportunity to visit the Trento Christmas Market and to head to the ski resort of Brentonico.

"Christmas in Trento, an exciting plunge into the evocative atmosphere of the Alpine, Italian and Central European Christmas tradition. The enchanting Market, set in the magical backdrop of the ancient city walls with its typical little wooden houses, invites you to savour delicious Christmas sweets, discover characteristic decorations and find lots of gift ideas in the spirit of the most genuine artisan tradition. Every day the greediest visitors can enjoy 'I Sapori del Mercatino' with exquisite local specialities, hot dishes, grappas and wines and tasty snacks made from typical local products". (Source:
