In the beginning of October, in the Gulf of Trieste, the sailing enthusiasts gather at the most numerous sailing race in the world - Barcolana. This year it's the 45th Barcolana in a row. Barcolana means the time of the year when the Gulf of Trieste files up with bursting colourful sails, the coast gets packed with a crowd of admirers. It really is the most beautiful race, viewed from the top, from where you view stretches all the way to the Croatian Savudria on one side and Italian Grado on the other. Barcolana is a meeting place of over twenty thousand sailors in front of over three hundred thousand spectators. It’s the most visited and best loved regatta in the Mediterranean Sea. In the middle of the Barcolana village an arena will be set for numerous meetings and events.
Debeli rtič in the best spot to watch the Barcolana from. Debeli rtič is also an excellent starting point for many walks, trips and visits to the natural and cultural spots, well worth seeing.
