On a sunny summer Sunday, my boyfriend and I decided to take a trip to Čakovec, where we wanted to experience a famous attraction - hanging umbrellas and colorful stalls that transform the city streets into a real summer fairy tale.
The drive from Ljutomer to Čakovec is quick and pleasant, as it takes less than an hour. We drove through the picturesque landscape of Međimurje with enthusiasm, expecting the magic that awaits us in Čakovec. When we arrived, we immediately noticed the lively atmosphere and colorful umbrellas hanging over the streets.☀️
Walking around the city center under the colorful hanging umbrellas was fabulous. Colors spilled through the sun's rays, creating beautiful patterns on the ground. These umbrellas are not only a beauty accessory, but also a practical protection from the sun's rays.
Stalls offering a wealth of local products were arranged among the colorful umbrellas. The local vendors were friendly and full of stories about their products, which further enriched our experience. We bought some souvenirs and handmade products that will always remind us of this wonderful day.
In the midst of enjoying the colorful umbrellas and delicacies from the stalls, it suddenly started to get dark. The clouds were gathering and we felt the first drops of rain. In no time, a storm engulfed the city with heavy rain and wind. We took refuge under a restaurant where we could be under the roof. Nevertheless, we quickly got wet, but the atmosphere remained lively and full of laughter.
The vendors continued to sell despite the rain, and we admired their courage and good will. Children ran around catching raindrops while adults laughed and enjoyed the spontaneity of the moment.🫶🏻
When the storm abated, the city lit up in a fresh glow. The rain washed away the dust and the colors of the umbrellas became even more vivid. We walked through the fresh streets smelling of rain and enjoyed the new atmosphere brought by the storm. Every drop of rain contributed to an unforgettable experience that made Čakovec even more magical.❤️
