……..was not one of the highlights but according to the Lonely Planet it offers a sense of the timeless grace of Istria. The pop. is just over 6000 and many were out enjoying the warm weather when we were there on a Saturday afternoon and it was special to see families playing in the little park with very high walls so the children, and others, don’t fall off the top of the hill. Buzet is really quite a maze so it’s easy to get lost and it has dubbed itself ‘the city of truffles’ and has a festival in September which marks the start of the white-truffle season. I was sorry we missed it but not so sorry once I realized that the truffles were not chocolate ones!
