Bale Tourist Information
BALE, a town in the south-western part of Istria, 15 km southeast of Rovinj; elevation 120 m; population 885. The language shows characteristics of the Istrio-Romanian dialect. Chief occupations are farming (vine, olives and wheat) and livestock breeding. The new part of the town is located at the intersection of the main road Buje - Pula (M3, E751) and the regional road Rovinj - Bale.
Rich regional architecture and particularities of the language spoken by the older population make this place an attractive destination. After part of the population had opted to belong to Italy after the Second World War, some of the abandoned houses were turned into vacation homes. At the same time, a tourist board was established and the Kolone beach finished, which fostered the development of stationary tourism. Today, Bale is known as a quiet place offering its visitors rest from big city crowd and rush. The closest public beach is 8 km away.
Bale is known for public feasts, the most popular being: Baljanska noc (Bale Night; first Saturday in August), Velika Gospa (The Assumption of Mary; 15th of August), as well as "Castrum Vallis" - an art exhibition (in July and August).
Especially developed is hunting tourism, while entertainment is provided at the above mentioned feasts, also known for Istrian specialities and wine.
