From March 25th 2009 till April 30th 2009 areas of Umag and Novigrad host the Days of asparagus, an interesting gastronomic manifestation.
Tourist board of Umag and Novigrad and Istria County Tourist Association organize this unique Istrian competition in cooking dishes of asparagus. The participants are the many restaurants and Istrian taverns listed in the Istrian Gourmet guide.
Maybe you are not a fan of asparagus, but this is a great opportunity to take a spring break and meat the other side of Istria, not just the sun and the beaches many are used to during the summer.
