Festival of Guca

What is the Guca festival? Imagine a verbena party on any village in Spanish, then add a touch of the Balkans.

During our trip to Guca several Serb commented us that they do not like the Guca festival, which they saw it as something full of drunks people. The truth is that our first impression was not very positive, we saw an environment quite hard accompanied by a harsh nationalist decoration (T-shirts and photographs of Radovan Karadzic or Ratko Mladic). We thought that at night the fighting would be normal and that it would be easy to be beaten, but to our surprise all those thoughts disappear during the night. After dinner we went to the center and the only thing we found was a whole crowd happily enjoying the festival in good cheer. It must be said that although the Serbs drink until the eyebrows, they know to drink, or put another way, the Serbs are not like the English.
