velo blato pag

The Velo Blato Ornithological Reserve is located on the southern side of the island of Pag. This area has great biological value, because it is a habitat for over 160 species of marsh birds, of which 66 species nest here.

The Pag tanac (dance) is performed to the accompaniment of bagpipes. This is a depiction of an encounter between young women and men wearing folk attire who, by dancing, clapping their hands and twirling, attract each other’s attention in order to dance together.
