We happen to find ourselves on different beaches in the country during the summer. Arguing with the beach occupiers, with their arrogance that in front of the plot they have occupied they don't even allow you to pass, let alone dare to put a towel to lie down on, or tearing our hair out from the high prices. Of services and food. While in Pogradec it happens completely differently. There is not one, but 8 public beaches. And not narrow pieces between private beaches that resemble oyster thongs, but surfaces that are almost equal to those with a fee. The public beach of Pogradec has snow-white umbrellas, ice-clean, people say. Without putting your hand in your pocket for anyone. And in the corner a very nice cabin for the lifeguard. The only cabin in all of Pogradec. He watches over the entire coast.
No municipality in Albania makes the "egg" that Pogradec does. But no television, no minister, because the prime minister only deals with the municipality of Tirana, mentions it. They talk about the demolition of premises, the destruction of sheet metal and do not warm us with this warm news. That the public beach in Pogradec is to be drunk in a cup. Lasgushi himself would bless it if he were alive. Hence the saying:
-This municipality eats bread alone!
