Information about BULGARIA Bulgaria has altered swiftly over the last decade and it is still valiantly striving to implement further change. One of its greatest assets is its people who have remained remarkably hospitable in the face of social and economic upheaval. Due to communist era restrictions, religious Bulgarians were forbidden to celebrate their festivals, and so they simply did so a day or so later. They continue to celebrate on this made up day as well as the traditional festival, meaning that many public holidays come in pairs! Another peculiarity is that Bulgarians nod to say no, and shake their heads when they mean yes! Worldwide recognition of Bulgaria’s culture has grown enormously over the last decade or so, with some of their folksingers in particular becoming global stars. This heritage is reflected in the social calendar. At the Koprivshtitsa International Folk Festival, which is held every five years, some 4000 finalists compete for awards. Kukeri is a spring festival, most avidly celebrated in the Rodopi Mountains. The Festival of Roses is celebrated with folk songs and dances at Kazanlāk and Karlovo on the first Sunday in June. Bulgarians make a strong claim for their own identity, although the influence of the Turks the Russians can be seen in its architecture and tasted in its food and drink. Bulgaria boasts a number of fine resorts along the Black Sea coast and picturesque and easily accessible mountain ranges for the summer visitor, while winter sports are in abundance, especially around the capital Sofia.
