Village facing the coast
A quieter threshold to the sea
Vabriga holds gardens, stone houses and the living memory of fishing. Its lanes and stories draw the eye downhill, toward Santa Marina and the Adriatic.
Tar and Vabriga are close enough to share a horizon, yet each keeps its own tempo. Tar rises around the bell tower of St Martin. Vabriga leans toward gardens, old stone houses and the fishing coast below.
