That's lemons to you

The weather was dull on the Thursday we were in Garda so we visited the town of Valegio sul Mincio



Mincio is the river that flows from Garda starting at Peschiera (see previous post). Another little old town with lots of expensive shops. The area must be famous for lemons as a lemon theme dominates the souvenir shops. (The region around the lake has a unique microclimate and monks in the fourteenth century introduced lemons to the area. Once a major export, the unique Modernina lemons are still used in local cuisine. Thanks, Google.)
