"Stone walls" Vrisnik Favorite Tip by halikowski

Favorite thing: All the Croatian islands are criss-crossed with falling-down stone walls from the time when herding sheep and goats was still common. Unlike Italy, where, say, Tuscans are so proud of keeping up their food-making traditions, in Croatia it is not so well kept up. The fields are reverting to `maquis', scrub of dwarf pines and thorn bushes. Greener, perhaps, and wilder, but without the soft touch of the human hand.
