It is nice to wander from one medieval Istrian town to another and discover their beauty, charm and hospitality. Winter is the season of hunting for game and truffles, especially the precious and elusive white truffle appreciated throughout the world. This is also the time to go fishing for sole, squid and langoustine. Winter is the season of Christmas intimacy as well as the carnival festivities that revive the ancient rites and bring back the pleasures of the past. This is the time of friendship through the long winter evenings when typical Istrian inns come into their own and proffer contentment of sitting around the open fire and enjoying the delicious food and other rich fruit of the summer’s labour.
