Travel Guide to Croatia: A Mediterranean Gem

Brief HistoryCroatia, nestled along the Adriatic Sea, has a long and complex history. Its origins trace back to ancient Illyrian tribes before Roman occupation, which left behind impressive ruins like Diocletian’s Palace in Split. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Croatia emerged as a kingdom in the 10th century. It later entered a union with Hungary and eventually became part of the Habsburg…

Some nice things about Croatia

I just got back from visiting over a dozen little wineries in Croatia (actually a couple were in Slovenia) and learned some things.

First, Croatia is fucking gorgeous. 

It is also mostly empty.  It is a thin carpet of scrubby bushes laid over rolling hills that have been worn down by time like an old coin.

Croatia has so many rocks.  So many.  In England they clear a field for farming by carrying all the rocks to the edges and building fences out of them; in Croatia when you do that, there are so many rocks that you can only clear about a fifteen foot wide area before you have a fence.

The Romans took one look at these hills and said "this doesn't need forts, nobody's getting through here."

"Peka" is a local cooking method that involves a hole full of hot coals, a pan covering the hole, and a metal lid over the pan, and sometimes further hot coals piled on the lid.  I had octopus, lamb, and val cooked in a peka and it was all delicious.

A konoba is a room that most Croatian houses have which is traditionally used to make and store wine, drink, eat, etc.  It turns out that almost all Croatian households traditionally make wine for their own consumption and this continues today.  So there is a long history of winemaking and a lot of scattered local expertise.

Before communism, there was a pretty significant wine industry.  For example, the Dingač area made wines favored by the Austro-Hungarian monarchs.  But under communism, small winemakers were forced to bring all their grapes to large factories, and they found they couldn't make a living that way.  A lot of vines were left untended or torn out.  The modern Croatian wine industry is less than 20 years old.  Starting around 2008, investments from the EU were used to buy the tanks, barrels, and bottling equipment for many of the wineries we visited.  They weren't even full EU members yet, but it must have seemed like low hanging fruit, pardon the pun.  

Also, they have these Minecraft-ass-looking blocks of rocks that they stack up.  Remember I said how very many rocks they have?  They bundle them up with chain link fence into a rectangle shape and use them t make walls.  It looks like nothing so much as Minecraft cobblestone.
