I mean, Rovinj is as much the sticks as my town, it’s just old and on the water. There’s almost nothing there and it’s only popular as a tourist destination. According to Wikipedia cars are the primary form of transportation outside the area in this picture and it’s quite far from anything else. Also according to wikipedia much of the small businesses in this area shut down in the off season since it’s mostly a beach tourist area. The closest major city is Pula (population 52k) which is 45 min from Rovinj. In comparison the largest city in my state is 25 min away and it alone has 20% of the population of the entire country of Croatia. All that said and living in old town Rovinj is less attainable to Croatians than my example is to Americans living in my area.
Who wants to live in the sticks though?
