Croatia: Dolac Market
I decided to end of the 2015 year with one last post about my trip to Croatia. If you ask anyone who has travelled with me, they will all tell you that I am “obsessed” (maybe obsessed is a strong word), “love” grocery stores and markets. Every chance I got, I was exploring and trying local food items. The largest market in Croatia, the Dolac Market, is in Zagreb located just north of Trg Bana Jelacica (Main Square). I spent a few hours strolling through the market and below is a collection of my best photos, I hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays!
A portion of the market in Trg Bana Jelacica. What a beautiful backdrop.

The woman at Dolac Market.
Fresh Croatian cheese stall.
Traditional Croatian strudel made with fillings like walnut, poppy seed, cherry, cheese and peach. These were delicious – the crust was less a pastry and more bread-like texture but the fillings are what made this strudel.
Assorted mushrooms.
Zizula or also known as jujube fruit, red dates or Chinese/Korean dates.
The fish market area of the Dolac Market.
Fresh seafood.
How beautiful are these local citrus fruit? Gorgeous!
You don’t see these too often, old school scales.
Fresh raw chestnuts for days and hulled walnuts in the back.
Some of the largest pumpkins and squash I’ve seen.
Homemade flatbread stuffed with a layer of a local Croatian herb.
Diving into a slice of traditional flatbread.
The meat market located below the open air produce market.
The market even has a pickled vegetable stall area.
Fried pork skin or chicharron. The Croatian’s love their pork.
