The Bulgarian oil-bearing rose may be this country’s unofficial symbol, yet it grows in just a narrow patch of land squeezed between two mountain ranges. Known as the Valley of Roses, this region deserves to be explored and visited for more than its aromatic flowers. With its rich ancient heritage, stunning summits and peaks, traditional towns and villages, historical sites of national importance, remnants of Communist-era megalomaniacal projects in various stages of dilapidation, and a vibrant community preserving the traditions of yesteryear, the Valley of Roses is Bulgaria in a nutshell.
With breathtaking photography and articles that are both erudite and witty this book will help you learn more about it, and will inspire you for your next trip.
