If last year's Christmas programs in Rovinj were rather small and modest, more like stage stops on the Istria-wide Advent tour, this year the city surprises us with an extensive Advent event calendar. Its lighting concept this year, which appropriately integrates the Batana tradition, creates a beautiful pre-Christmas atmosphere in Rovinj in the evening. Also, the culinary offer has been expanded with stalls and restaurants on the Lungomare, so we can look forward to treats beyond mulled wine and fritule.
