Travel Diaries: Picnic in Parma

On our way to the south, we decided to stop at Parma after we left Milan. This decision was only made to satisfy our great desires for real prosciutto!

We had around 3 hours in this little town, which was just enough to go to the Salumeria Verdi, a traditional and very well known place to buy traditional food goodies and have a picnic at a beautiful park we found. We ate like crazy: prosciutto crudo, salame, mozzarella, burrata, parmigiano and foccacia...

As if all that food hadn't been enough, we had the most amazing dessert ever: ice-cream focaccia! I'd never tried this before, but it was absolutely delicious! Although I must confess I almost couldn't finish it because I was so full by the time I bought it!

After such a huge lunch, we went back to the train station, and continued on our way to our next stop!
