Giant Artichoke
Great stop only because we were driving relatively in that direction / on that road anyway. Made for a great photo!

This was amazing. Fruit and veg stand, as well as The Giant Artichoke restaurant, with a variety of artichoke dishes. Great souvenirs!

The 20-foot-tall artichoke makes the detour worthwhile. But the farmer's market and deep-fried artichokes make the Giant Artichoke restaurant a nice place to stop and rest on a road trip.

At the Giant Artichoke Restaurant (where else?). We didn't have time to stop to eat, but a sign advertises french fried artichoke that can be ordered to go, and can be ordered with espresso.

Great stop for fresh fruit and vegetables, and really good coffee bar with lounge-y area.
