DONKEY RACING
There are 1,820 inhabitants in Sali, the main town on the island of Dugi Otok. It’s hard to host a party with such a small pool of people, so the fi rst event in its summer cultural festival is a trip to the metropolis of Zadar, where a band plays music to gather a crowd for the return journey. Once in Sali, people enjoy a feast of fi sh stew, grilled tuna and other seafood, followed the next day by concerts and sporting events like scooter races, bag races and a tug-of-war. The fi nal day features a series of donkey races along the quayside. The fastest donkey and rider win a slab of prosciutto while, in typical Mediterranean fashion, the laziest donkey coming in last is also commended for keeping it low-key!
