Festival <strong>of</strong> oysters<br />
C-2, Stradun. Legend has it that <strong>the</strong> Austrian emperors<br />
centuries ago loved to devour oysters, which reputedly<br />
had magical powers. We are, <strong>of</strong> course, talking specifically<br />
about <strong>the</strong> oysters that came from <strong>the</strong> Mali Ston Bay,<br />
a part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dubrovnik region where <strong>the</strong> oysters are<br />
still nurtured in <strong>the</strong> cleanest and clearest sea in <strong>the</strong><br />
world. Oysters are ripe and most tasty in March, when<br />
<strong>the</strong> Feast <strong>of</strong> Saint Joseph is celebrated. Gastronomy<br />
experts claim that oysters should be served fresh and<br />
sprinkled with lemon juice. And that is exactly how you<br />
will be able to taste <strong>the</strong>m, freshly opened and with <strong>the</strong><br />
scent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sea.<br />

This is a great chance to learn about<br />
traditional organic products from all over Croatia, to try out<br />
some healthy foods and learn about natural remedies. In<br />
this part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world, even doctors are likely to tell you to<br />
buy a packet <strong>of</strong> camomile tea ra<strong>the</strong>r than immediately<br />
prescribing antibiotics. Funnily enough, it works and it’s<br />
much better for you. (Obviously, always consult your<br />
doctor first if you have pre-existing health problems or<br />
suspect a more serious ailment).<br />
