Dan je ujutro bio prekrasan a onda se popodne naoblačilo i mirisalo na kišu koja je ipak popustila pred uzavrelim suncem te smo ipak imali prekrasno popodne u obilasku ovog simpatičnog ali nadasve depresivnog grada. Ne znam koji razlog je da kad prolazite kroz predgrađe Lošinja vas obuzme depresija, da li su to zgrade tj. apartmani izgrađeni u stilu davnih 'crvenih' dana ili je to dojam zbog nečeg sasvim drugog no ipak idemo malo o samom Lošinju.

Mali Lošinj (tal. Lussinpiccolo) je grad u Hrvatskoj smješten na južnoj strani otoka Lošinja, 7. otoka po veličini na Jadranu. Administrativno, kulturno i financijsko središte zapadnog dijela kvarnera.

Grad Mali Lošinj sastoji se od 14 naselja: Belej, Ćunski, Ilovik, Male Srakane, Mali Lošinj, Nerezine, Osor, Punta Križa, Susak, Sveti Jakov, Unije, Ustrine, Vele Srakane i Veli Lošinj.

Administrativna jedinica Grad Mali Lošinj površine 223 km2, obuhvaća južni dio otoka Cresa, od zaljeva Koromačno i Ustrine, te otok Lošinj i skupinu manjih otoka: Unije, Ilovik, Susak, Srakane Male, Srakane Vele i niz nenaseljenih otočića.

Mali Lošinj najveće je naselje na otoku i na Jadranskim otocima, a smješten je u Uvali August, najvećoj zatvorenoj uvali ovoga otočja. Za nautički turizam vrlo važna luka jer je smještena na plovnom putu između Istre i Dalmacije.

Mali Lošinj je priobalno naselje na otoku Lošinju, smješteno u dnu uvale/luke Mali Lošinj. Okrenut je moru sa sjeverozapadne strane. Širenjem, na sjeveroistoku je Mali Lošinj izašao na sjevernu stranu otoka, na lučicu Sv. Martin i uvalu Baldarka. Na sjeverozapadnom dijelu se mjesto proširilo na sjeverozapadni "krak" otoka, sve do uvale i kanala Privlaka. Na zapadu se proširio do zapadne obale otoka sve do rta Madona i uvale Čikat.

Na istoku se nalazi mjesto Veli Lošinj, do kojega vodi cesta uz koju je neprekinut niz kuća. Mediteranska klima. Prosječna ljetna temperatura 24° C, a prosječna zimska temperatura 11,7° C. Prema popisu iz 2001. godine, grad Mali Lošinj broji 8388 stanovnika, i to po naseljima: Mali Lošinj 6296, Veli Lošinj 917, Nerezine 371, Susak 188, Ćunski 150, Ilovik 104, Unije 90, Osor 73, Belej 64, Punta Križa 61, Sveti Jakov 37, Ustrine 27, Vele Srakane 8 i Male Srakane 2 stanovnika.

Prvi put se spominje 1398. pod imenom Malo selo. 1868. godine doživljava svoj vrhunac. U mjestu funkcionira čak 11 brodogradilišta, te Mali Lošinj postaje mjesto s najjačom trgovačkom flotom na Jadranu - čak ispred Rijeke, Trsta i Venecije. Pronalaskom parnog stroja dolazi do stagnacije razvoja, a pojavom bolesti vinove loze - peronospore dolazi do raseljavanja stanovništva. Poslije II. svjetskog rata Mali Lošinj broji samo 2200 stanovnka. Do 1918. je u sastavu Austro-Ugarske, a potom okupiran od strane fašističke Italije. Oslobođen 1943. godine, kada je donesena odluka o pripajanju Hrvatskoj i Jugoslaviji. Njemačka okupacija od 1943. do 20. travnja 1945. godine. Od 1945. do 1990. u sastavu SFRJ, a od 1990. u sastavu Republike Hrvatske. Za prvog predsjednika općine Cres-Lošinj u demokratskoj Hrvatskoj izabran je Hrvoje Lešić, nakon njega dolaze Mario Hofmann, Dragan Balija i Gari Cappelli.

Daleko od toga da smo obišli ovu rutu jer to je ipak dojam koji svatko ponaosob mora doživjeti, nas je zanimao onaj životni duh koji prožima grad kroz obilazak uz uvalu u kojoj je smješten. Nažalost moglo se vidjeti u samom centru mnogo devastiranih i napuštenih objekata pa čak i jedna pasara što za takav turistički grad se to nikako ne bi smjelo dogoditi a primjer su Vila Perla i nepoznata kuća.

Naravno i ovdje ponuda suvenira ovisi o dupinima koji su zaštitni znak ovoga grada no to je osmišljeno toliko naivno da nije nimalo čudno što turisti nemaju gdje ostaviti novac a kad se još to poveže sa pokojim mutavim prodavačem koji nema pojma što prodaje te si i nedaje truda da bi išta prodao to svakog normalnog turistu ostavlja bez riječi.

Restorane smo zaobišli u velikom luku te se posvetili jednom na samoj rivi koji ima u logu plavog dupinčeka i bili smo zadovoljni uslugom i donešenim jelom tako da nikako nismo mogli a da konobaru ne ostavimo dobru napojnicu jer zavrijedio je zajedno sa kuharom.

Dojam koji smo dobili na početku nas nije napuštao sve do hotelskih komplekasa gdje smo krenuli uživati u prekrasnoj borovoj šumi ali i nadaleko poznatim plažama, no to nažalost nije dovoljno da bi se zadovoljili današnji moderni turisti. Mala tržnica poviše centra je sjajno opskrbljena voćem i cijene su bile vrlo pristupačne ako znamo da je to ipak otok te u tom segmentu možemo samo pohvaliti Lošinj. Parkirnih mjesta ima dovoljno i uopće nije preskupo tako da limeni ljubimac je na sigurnom bez straha od oštećenja ili krađe.

Ipak smatram da gradski oci moraju još poraditi na tom duhu grada da sam dojam o istome se promjenio od ulaska u grad do samog centra te da se osjeti pozitivna energija a ne tek probuđen iz zimskog sna.

Day has been wonderful in the morning and then afternoon cloud and smell of rain, which is still hot abated before the sun and we still had a lovely afternoon in a tour of this friendly but above all depresivnog city. I do not know that the reason is that when you pass through the slums of Losinj you overcome depression, whether they are building the apartments built in the style of the ancient 'red' days, or is this impression because of something entirely different but still we go a little about the Losinj.

It was first mentioned in 1398. A little under the name of the village. 1868. The experienced its peak. In place works even 11 yards, and Mali Losinj becomes a place with the strongest commercial fleets on the Adriatic coast - even in front of the river, Trieste and Venice. Pronalaskom parnog machine comes to the stagnation of development, and the appearance of vine diseases - peronospore comes to population displacements. After II.

Far from it that we have visited this route because it is still the feeling that everyone's experience must, we were interested in the living spirit that pervades the city along the tour through the bay where he is located. Unfortunately it could be seen in the center of much devastiranih and abandoned buildings and even a pasara what kind of tourist town that should not be allowed to happen and the example of the Villa Perla and unknown houses.

Of course, and offer souvenirs here depends on the dolphins that are a trademark of this city but it is thought so naive that it is not strange that none tourists do not leave the money where and when is still to link with which dumb vendor who has no concept of what sells, and you do not gives the effort to sell anything to any normal tourist leaves without a word.

We work around restaurants in a large port and a dedicated on the waterfront, which has a blue logo dolphin and we were pleased with the service and brought food so that we could not do that steward not leave good tips because deserve together with cook.

The impression that we received at the beginning we did not ooze until complexes hotels where we started to enjoy the beautiful pine forest but also excellent beaches, but this unfortunately is not enough to meet today's modern tourists. A small market above the center is nicely stocked fruit and prices were very affordable, if we know that this is still the island and in this segment can only boast of Losinj. Parking space has enough and does not pre expensive so that the metal pet is safe without fear of damage or theft.

Yet I think that the city fathers must still work on the spirit of the city that I feel the same about you changed since entering the city to the center and that she felt positive energy and not just awake from winter sleep.
