Tante cose da scoprire
by pollon1972
Sono stata in Bulgaria per la prima volta nell'anno 2000. Era giugno ed era molto caldo. Un ragazzo e una ragazza originating in Sofia and I had known in Italy, they took me around to visit Sofia wrapped in a warm wind but not wet. Churches, streets, palaces, museums, shops, .... na drink at bars and more parks, theater, until evening. Over the years I went back several times, seven, eight, can not remember. In the spring, summer, winter, Easter and also for my birthday. Bulgaria does not like me: I love it! You can not do a comparison of this beautiful country with Italy or for similarities or for differences (this according to my opinion), but if you like Eastern Europe, nature and good food .... is a country to visit!
I visited several cities in Bulgaria, as well as Sofia is a big city. In Sofia you can visit monuments, churches, park and some shops that are almost the same as those found around the world. But Sofia is not the image of Bulgaria. Not the real one, because Bulgaria is yogurt, wine, plateaus, mountains, nature, monasteries, rose oil, and more. And in Sofia found this very hidden. I state that I know some people of Sofia, in particular a dear friend with whom they are still in contact and then I had several "straight": hotel accommodation, places to visit, restaurants to eat. And I was very helpful, because in Sofia there are enough tourists, business people and so there are lots of places for tourists "that I recommend di evitare. A me piacciono molto di più i luoghi in cui vanno i bulgari, sono più veri e caratteristici. Alcune città che ho visitato: Stara Zagora, Blagoevgrad, Bourgas, Nessebar, Kazanlak, Bansko, Plovdiv, Veliko Tarnovo, Sozopol, Sunny Beach, Arbanassi, Koprivshtitza, Etar, e qualcun'altra.
Non so dirvi cosa mi piace di più visto che sono tanti gli aspetti che amo di questo Paese. Credo la gente per prima cosa. Ho sempre incontrato persone gentili e generose. Mi è capitato di dimenticare la borsa con portafoglio, soldi e documenti in un ristorante e il cameriere mi ha rincorso per restituirmela. In treno da Stara Zagora a Sofia ho incontrato un ragazzino simpatico che mi ha parlato, in inglese, di tutte le city \u200b\u200bthat he thought I had during my brief visit to Bulgaria because permaneza considered very interesting and also contacted a friend to give me a phone for information that he could not remember. Another kind man that I asked what was the bus to Stara Zagora among those in the square, accompanied me in person to the bus and then I had to take the side of the bus, with a finger he drew the number the organization which would leave! And then I remember another gentleman who was selling CDs and books by the church in Sofia Sveta Nedelja. I had stopped to look at the cd and he pulled a few drops of water on him and then with the wet hand I stroked his head. I was amazed, but he told me that was the water saint who had just taken into the church and who used to wet the goods, a good omen for selling more. When I go to Sofia, I never forget to make a trip to the supermarket that I can not remember what it's called, I think Halite. It 'a building within which there are many "stalls" and each sells a typical Bulgarian. You can find the delicious Bulgarian cheese, sirens, which resembles feta, yogurt and even ready meals, and ciubriza, a spice that looks like the savory, very good. I bought it every time I went to Sofia in order to prepare the moussaka. It 'also great to see the real Bulgarian shopping in this supermarket, I think it's an honor to assist with their daily life that make people from another country. I also like to sit in the gardens of the park where there is the National Palace of Culture and see grandparents playing with their grandchildren.
In Sofia there are restaurants where you can eat real food in Bulgaria. I remember with pleasure Vodenizata which is close to the Vitosha mountain, Pri Yafata, Divakar, Ciuciura and Coffee in downtown Laguna, which is frequented by young people. Here are savory crepes with chicken, cucumber and sweet sauce buonisimme and we call the waffles served with cream, ice cream and fruit. I ate in restaurants really great, too bad I can not remember the names of all .... Very good the Insat that opens every meal, made of cucumbers, tomatoes, chives and grated cheese Bulgarian a cui si possono aggiungere vari ingredienti ed è accompagnata da rakia, (grappa). La carne è tutta buonissima, (il bestiame vive all'aperto sugli altopiani bulgari). I dolci sono particolari, come il baklava a base di pasta filo e miele. In estate è davvero rinfrescante la bevanda a base di yogurt e acqua: ajran.
Riguardo le altre città posso dirvi che mi ha lasciato senza parole Bansko, che è un paesino di montagna, ma anche località sciistica. La parte vecchia della città è diventata città-museo, (ne ho viste molte in Bulgaria e sono bellissime oltre ad una bella idea). Le strade di ciotoli, le case di pietra con i tetti di legno sui cui camini c'erano i nidi delle cicogne. L'odore di legna burned in the fireplaces. In this city-museum you can visit many homes where it was re-created the typical house once a school, a museum of traditional costumes ...
Etar is also similar, but there runs through a river. This is an open-air museum, houses, old mills, bridges and a tower. Carpets hung from balconies, and typical items that you can buy. Do not miss
Nessebar which is located on the Black Sea coast The entrance is a small strip of land which is located in the middle of an old mill. In the city there were once 40 churches of piiù but today there are very few.
Koprivshtitza but I liked it for its colorful houses of the Bulgarian Renaissance. Home of merchants and then a city rich. There are also special carpets of wool that is spun but not pressed. Plovdiv is interesting to visit the Roman Theatre which was built between 114 and 117 AD is still used for performances in summer. Veliko Tarnovo
And in summer reproduce an ancient battle with lights and music, at the foot of the hill on which to found a fortified citadel within which is a Byzantine church. Enchanting the Rila Monastery
a hundred miles. from Sofia, founded in the tenth century on Mount Rila. To see the beautiful paintings, such as icons very well preserved. In 1983 he was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
And then there are the traditions that Bulgarians are very much alive, a bit 'as in Italy at the time of our grandparents. I was in Sofia for Easter and I was really struck by the Orthodox mass. The Pope leads the votive candle that used to light the candles of the faithful who are near him. Then they will light candles to their neighbors and so on until when the whole church will be lit.
I attended parties and even a wedding, one of my dear friend. Like the Bulgarians and dance Divertis so, you know Bregovic .... fantastic! And this kind of live music ... you can not ever forget! Their music is really addictive and perform beautiful dances of forming a circle. Not know if you've ever seen on television dancing the horo which is the Bulgarian national dance. Carina also modern music.
On March 1 in Bulgaria is "Baba Marta" and we will exchange bracelets made of red and white wool threads intertwined that they are called "martenitze. The martenitza be worn until the first stork is seen flying in the spring. I saw the storks for the first time in my life in Bansko: birds are huge but very beautiful.
A curiosity: Bulgaria is the homeland of the yogurt (do you remember the famous Lactobacillus bulgaricus) and pink (the Rose of Kazanlak is the basis for the most prestigious perfumes). It is written in Cyrillic, Bulgarian is spoken and the currency is LEVERAGE. Young people speak almost any English very well, better than most Italians.
never tell never finish all the things I saw and why I love Bulgaria but I think I gave a little idea of \u200b\u200bthis great country!
... since January 2007, Bulgaria is part of the European Union so you can recarvici with ID cards only. Claudia
