The town attracts visitors from around the world who come to experience its medieval ambiance, admire its unique architecture, and savor its local delicacies. San Gimignano is a true gem of Tuscany and an unforgettable destination for travelers.

We did more shopping in this town. Since this is the last day in Tuscany, we hurried up to buy aprons, hand towels, and magnets as souvenirs. Some of us bought beautiful decorative ceramics from La Ceramics di Elena Ricciardi. We also purchased Vingers and Pici pasta at Mangius.  We all relazied the only way we can take home of these items is to ship them home. 

For lunch, we ordered cold cuts and a cheese platter to share at a wine shop.

How can we miss the famous gelato at Caffetteria Gelateria dell'Olmo in San Gimignano? Helen surely enjoyed this treat.

On our way back, we stopped at the wine shop where the lady was helping us to find our rental car. Luckily, she was there and recommended us to got o Fattoria Oulcino restaurant for dinner. We had our favorite Pici pasta and salad.
