Where are the spotted canines?

We're in Dalmatia but we haven't seen any of the spotted canines yet, but we did try Dalamatian ham.

The jewel of Dalmatia is the walled city of Dubrovnik.  It was heavily shelled during the Balkan conflict but now completely restored. The tourism trade is booming (with cruise liners just arriving for the start of the season), but it is only a shadow of its former glory. Many enormous hotels are abandoned with shell-holes and broken windows ... clay tennis are now overgrown with grass.

Many Brits have found a new place to worship the Sun in other places like Spain.

The whole Croatian coast is just gorgeous ... all the towns and islands are similar but yet so different ... it is hard to pick a favourite, but if I had to ... I'd choose Porec/Rovinj in the Istrian peninsula which I visited 4 years ago. But Split and Dubrovnik come close. Great day trips available to surrounding islands.
