After all, Istria is not only about the sea and summer. It is also about numerous events on the coast and inland in all seasons. It is also about the Istrian people with their delightful cuisine and excellent wines and olive oils. See it for yourself this Easter and see why it\u2019s so easy for visitors to fall in love with Istria at first sight.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1029079\" src=\"https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-2-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-2-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-2-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-2-1536x956.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>A choice of events at Easter<\/h2>\n<p>In order to entice visitors to join in the festivities, people in Istria have prepared various culinary and sports activities in addition to church service over the Easter weekend.<br \/>\nDelicious Istrian delicacies will be served on the central town square in Pore\u010d from Monday to Friday, while fritaja sa \u0161paletom over a glass of Istrian wine awaits you on Sunday. It is a must-try traditional Istrian dish made with scrambled eggs.<\/p>\n<h2>Vodnjan \u0161paleta<\/h2>\n<p>Although Istria is widely known for prosciutto, the peninsula has an additional gastronomic treat for meat lovers &#8211; <em>\u0161paleta<\/em>. The new\/old star of Istrian cuisine was unfairly overlooked for a while. <em>\u0160paleta<\/em> is neither fresh meat nor aged prosciutto, but rather it is thinner and less aged than prosciutto. Fortunately, the tradition of preparing <em>\u0161paleta<\/em> has recently been revived, owing to the Bur\u0161i\u0107 family farm in Vodnjan, so it is coming back step by step.<\/p>\n<p>It is also the place where \u0160paleta Run will be held, which includes running in scenic Istrian countryside and sampling authentic Istrian products. Enjoying delicious food and spending time in nature &#8211; just perfect for active holiday seekers!<\/p>\n<h2>\u0160trika Ferata<\/h2>\n<p>A newly established cycling-hiking trail along the former railway Rovinj-Kanfanar is what the mysterious name stands for. This Easter, it will be transformed into a sampling route featuring cheese, prosciutto, wine and olive oil, so awaken the gourmet inside you by applying to <a href=\"https:\/\/strika-ferata.wineandwalk.info\/eng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>\u0160trika Ferata Olive Oil Wine Walk<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Pinca in Fa\u017eana, wine in Gra\u010di\u0161\u0107e<\/h2>\n<p>When in Istria at Easter, don\u2019t miss the traditional breakfast in Fa\u017eana on Easter Monday, when the famous bread named <em>pinca<\/em> made with flour, butter, eggs and sugar is broken. After breakfast, see the exhibition of large Easter eggs. The so-called <em>pisanice<\/em> represent life, and Istria is widely known for Easter egg dying and the use of natural colours in the process.<\/p>\n<p>If you happen to pass through central Istria, stop by a wine event in the medieval Gra\u010di\u0161\u0107e. Namely, the traditional konoba restaurants await you on Easter Monday, with sampling of premium Istrian wines included.<\/p>\n<h2>Gastro-travel in Istria<\/h2>\n<p>Should you like to further explore Istrian specialties, make sure you visit Istria in April and May. It\u2019s the season of wild asparagus, so many exquisite restaurants use it to prepare delectable dishes.<br \/>\nIstria is well-known for its cuisine and wines, and there are a number of fine dining restaurants offering the perfect Easter lunch or dinner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1029075\" src=\"https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-4.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villasborghetto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Uskrs-u-Istri-i-predah-od-svakodnevice-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To name just a few, <em><strong>San Rocco<\/strong><\/em> in Brtonigla serves first-rate truffles, while <em><strong>Johnson<\/strong> <\/em>in Mo\u0161\u0107eni\u010dka Draga has built its reputation for excellent scampi. <em><strong>Kantinon<\/strong><\/em> in Rovinj pairs fine dining with a typical Istrian konoba experience, and it is ideal for family gatherings.
