The third Month of Gastronomy in Split continues the culinary story, and Štorije o' spize invites the people of Split and their guests to enjoy an even richer program of events in public squares and open spaces, with the aim of promoting autochthonous Dalmatian wines, dishes and products.
The event takes place from October 23 to November 16, 2024, through the presentation of the flavors and traditions that make Dalmatia unique. The o'spiza tents promote the Dalmatian tradition and way of life with a special emphasis on the Mediterranean diet, which is included in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
