Croatia Online - Split's New Techno Riva

Today’s photo shows Split’s new Riva just two days before it was due to be finished for the big town celebration of Sveti Duje on Monday 7th May. Surprisingly enough, the deadline was met and the party was attended by some 50,000 people.

The general consensus seems to be that the landscaping is good, but that the high tech street lights and canopy frames are a little disappointing - they aren’t in tune with the old town’s tradition and spoil the look of the facades of the shops and the palace.

Apologies for the lack of news recently – it’s been a hectic couple of weeks! This weekend Croatia Online went to Vis to relax a little and we’re now refreshed and ready to get back up to date with news, views and comment. Our next posting will be on the island of Vis and then we’ll be catching up with all the other news.
