All parts of Slovenia have a thing or two to offer, from wooden to clay or even stone artifacts, depending on the area they come from, and also [...]]]> http://www.spottedbylocals.com/ljubljana/made-in-slovenia-shop/feed 0 http://www.spottedbylocals.com/ljubljana/spica http://www.spottedbylocals.com/ljubljana/spica#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:15:40 +0000 Tjaša Janovljak Spica - The green oasis The lazy Ljubljanica River strolls through the city, but before it enters it, the river’s path is divided. The artificial channel dug more than 200 years ago makes a shortcut, avoiding the city center where the natural stream flows. Where the river is divided there are some simple barges serving as bars. There are three [...]]]> http://www.spottedbylocals.com/ljubljana/spica/feed 0 http://www.spottedbylocals.com/ljubljana/gallusovo-nabrezje http://www.spottedbylocals.com/ljubljana/gallusovo-nabrezje#comments Tue, 09 Mar 2010 03:22:59 +0000 Jošt Derlink Gallusovo nabrezje - Little Amsterdam in Ljubljana If you would take a part of Amsterdam and transform it into Habsburg city mixing Mediterranean atmosphere, you would get Gallus bank. It has narrow houses like Amsterdam, Baroque architecture like Vienna and a part of feeling you get in Italian cities with the outside cafés.

It is not comparable with the majority of the CD shops, because in Koromandija there are no such things as Pop, Hip Hop, Rock or Metal… Koromandija is one of those shops with world music.

In the last few years some new tea-houses opened, but Cha remained the cherry on the topping. It’s located on the Old Square (Stari trg) in one of those cute mansions.

If I’m honest, I’m not 100% sure if this bar is called Cupiterija or Hijo de puta, I think that they use both names. The bar opened a few months ago, so it really is fresh stuff!

When I left the country I knew I would miss those bakeries, but then I remembered that we also have one of those in Ljubljana!
