The Tanfara family has been involved in this tradition since 1896. They have passed down their knowledge and experience from generation to generation, with a deep respect for the sea and the natural origin of the sponges. Today, Spuga 2 continues this tradition through its museum, processing, and range of natural sea sponge products.
In the museum, visitors can learn more about the lifestyle of Krapanj sponge divers, their diving techniques, and the demanding work of harvesting sponges. A special part of the story focuses on traditional processing, during which sponges are cleaned, sorted, rinsed, dried, and prepared for further use.
The gift shop offers a variety of products made from processed sea sponges, including sponges for personal hygiene, sponges with natural loofah, products in netting or cellophane, decorative items, magnets, and gift sets. Each product carries a piece of island tradition and serves as a reminder of the skill that has been nurtured on Krapanj for over a hundred years.
A visit to Spuga 2 offers the opportunity to discover authentic Krapanj heritage through the personal story of the Tanfara family, artifacts related to diving, and products created through the careful processing of natural materials. It is a place where maritime history, family tradition, and a modern approach to presenting island heritage meet.
