Aarau markets

As if tradition had never left, Aarau is one of the most attractive market towns in Switzerland. Every Saturday, early in the morning with rain or snow, sun or clouds, shopkeepers build up their tents in the market and Aaraus’ habitats roam through Graben with their shopping cars as if time had frozen sometime in the middle of the Middle Age.

I normally go to the gym on Saturday mornings and every Saturday I see this picturesque image which is created…I even sometimes turn around and check the picture twice… it’s just as if time had not gone through this town!! What has gone through are the prices…and oh my God in what way…you are sometimes just going to look but never touch…prices are exceptional!! Just as the superb quality of the products, that are of course Swiss made, Swiss standard and Swiss price !!
