3201 SLOVENIA (Slovene Littoral) - Washing the laundry in Piran


In the past, women used to wash the laundry in common, those from the country to the river, and those from the town to the wells located in small squares. Because in small towns they often did not have enough space to hanging out the laundry at home, they did so in these small markets. Of course, this habit has long been lost, with the generalization of running water and washing machines.
