Today, Tar and Vabriga expanding one towards the other have become one, divided just by the Pula-Trieste road. The ancestors of the Tar and Vabriga have chosen the place for their settlement with great success. It is a fertile plateau (112 m above sea level), gently sloping towards the sun and sea in the South-West, whilst it abruptly arises towards the Mirna estuary in the North. The inhabitants of Tar and Vabriga may often be seen either driving tractors or sailing boats as two are their plough-fields – land and sea. Today they are also engaged in catering and tourism facilities. The particular way of fishing that takes place in the Tar valley has been going on in this way for a thousand years. The second fishermen bay is Santa Marina, the property of Vabriga inhabitants. When the fishing season is over, the fishermen return with great dedication to cultivating their olive groves and vineyards.
