38th MARUNADA
|
|
 Marunada is the greatest yearly event in Lovran. Traditional gastronomic event offering assorted dishesand pastry made of famous Lovran sweet chestnuts - maruni. Here cames the name: Marunada. Beacuse of special climate, the Lovran's chestnuts are one of the most tasteful chestnuts in the World, and this is why this event is so special.
Marunada traditionally begins mid-October in Lovran and then migrates to the neighboring villages of Liganj and Dobreć in the weekends to follow. During Marunada, along with an offer of roasted chestnuts, a type of mead (domestic brandy made from honey) and young wine may be consumed too. In cafes and patisseries, pastries, sweets and cakes made with maruns will be available (chestnut cream, chestnut purée, chestnut ice cream, chestnut frappé, chestnut sorbet ...), while in taverns and restaurants one may taste original domestic dishes featuring maruns (special dishes with chestnuts – turkey breast stuffed with chestnuts, cutlet au gratin with chestnuts, rump-steak with chestnut sauce, flaming crepes with chestnut cream ...).
Every year, Marunada is accompanied by a series of sports and entertainment events, which visitors may participate in. Traditionally held during Marunada are a Lawn-bowling tournament, the "Giro di Marunada" bicycle tournament, a mountaineering excursion and the Adventurous Trekking Race "Učka Mountain Trek".
