Dol - one of the oldest settlements

One of the oldest settlements on Brac, built of stone on barren rock to preserve the scarce fields of fertile soil, it has also preserved its original architecture.
Although close to frequent tourist destinations, it remains peaceful and offers its rare visitors a comfortable rest from summer's haze, mosquitoes and noise.

Brac and Music

What about the genuine music on the island of Brac? There is a site of local a cappella singing group named "Volat" from Pucisca, which is sadly on Croatian language, but you can hear their version of famous song Piva Klapa Ispo' Volta, and I can say I was delighted to hear it.

Some nice words about "Klapa Volat":
Klapa "Volat" is a conjunction of the past and the present times and represents a live image of pureness, simplicity and greatness of past times. "Volat" is our most beautiful "living souvenir".
(free partial translation of the text written by Zorana Martinic and taken from their site Klapa Volat)

Their slogan says it all "food for the soul".
