Contexto cultural
The 'špica' is a Saturday morning ritual where people dress up and go to the city center to drink coffee and read newspapers. Reading 'Slobodna Dalmacija' is almost a religious experience for locals in Split; it's the primary source for local news and Hajduk Split updates. 'Glas Istre' is the dominant regional paper, reflecting the unique bilingual and multicultural identity of the region. The 'osmrtnice' (obituaries) are often the most-read section of the paper in smaller towns, serving as a social bulletin board.
