North wind in Rijeka (Bura)
by rsudic
The changeable Bora can often be felt all over Dalmatia and the rest of the Adriatic east coast. It blows in gusts. The Bora is most common during the winter. It blows hardest, as the meteorologist Wrangel first explained in 1876, when a polar high-pressure area sits over the snow-covered mountains of the interior plateau behind the Dinaric coastal mountain range and a low-pressure area lies further south over the warmer Adriatic. As the air grows even colder and thus denser at night, the Bora increases. The wind takes two different traditional names depending on associated meteorological conditions: the "clear bora" (Italian: Bora chiara) is Bora in the presence of clear skies, whereas clouds gathering on the hilltops and moving towards the seaside with rain characterize the "dark bora" (Bora scura). We like bura, most of the time it's healthy when it blows and you can expect amazingly clear day. But you'll experience THE cold of bura.
The International Small Scene Theatre Festival
by rsudic
The International Small Scene Theatre Festival was founded in Rijeka in 1994 as a Croatian festival. Under the guidance of its founder, the actor Nenad Šegvic and its first selector – the theatre critic Dalibor Foretic, its aim was to assemble the best and most progressive performances of chamber theatre, most often produced by independent theatre groups. Equally open to first-class mainstream theatre and unconventional, experimental projects, the Small Scene Theatre Festival pays special attention to setting up the visiting performances on attractive locations and a variety of stages; therefore, besides running on the stage of the Croatian House of Culture and in its atrium, plays have been performed in the theatre of Filodrammatica, the Croatian National Theatre “Ivan Zajc”, in the former movie-house “Kvarner”, in the abandoned factories “Rade Koncar”, “Rikard Bencic”, and the paper factory, in painters’ ateliers, etc. Alongside with the most famous theatres from all the countries offormer Yugoslavia, so far the Festival has hosted theatres from Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Rumania, Russia, the USA, Switzerland, and Great Britain.

Kastav (fortified town near Rijeka)
by rsudic
Kastav, a town fortified by a town wall with nine defensive towers, was built on the ridge of Karst mountain (377 meters above sea level). It is situated very near Opatija (6 kilometres) and Rijeka (10 kilometres), only 20 kilometres from Rupa, the Croatio Slovenian border.
The history of Kastav is turbulent. Archeological discoveries confirm the presence of an Illyrian tribe of Japodi in 11th century B.C. on the site of today's town. After them the town was governed by the Romans, Ostrogoths, Greeks, Lombards and in the 7th century the Croatians moved to the place and stayed here till today.
Great for half-day trip. You can take bus No. 18 from Rijeka city centar and just walk around the city. There are five pics attached to this Tip so check them all.
Velebit
by anatlc
They say Velebit is the most beautiful mountain in Croatia. I've been to North Velebit and it really looks fantastic. A very good thing (or a very bad thing) is that you can reach the top by car :-)
The view ... Rab, Cres, Lošinj, Plavnik, Grgur, Goli ... all of them in front of you... really nice.
