Is it too early? We are still in November, let’s face it we are still in short sleeves and shorts, and the Christmas decorations are going up in the ancient Old City of Dubrovnik.

The main street through the city, the Stradun, had its festive lights installed on Friday in preparation for the Dubrovnik Winter Festival.

It might seem strange but the man hanging the Xmas lights is wearing sunglasses and the passers-by are in T-Shirts and summer clothes, clearly not festive weather in Dubrovnik yet.
