Bansko

Bansko is changing.

It used to be a small town with an old city. Then the ski zone came with thousands of new hotels, growing faster than the infrastructure. It had lots of people in the winter but was a muddy ghost town in the summer. Now the central area is expanding with paved walking streets that make it a summer resort as well.

The digital nomads and hipsters have found it. It has multiple co-working spaces. An abandoned hotel turned to a co-living space. The central square has daily events. People everywhere.

The success infected the nearby villages as well. Banya has multiple 4 and 5* hotels with mineral water.

I can see us going back with the goal to climb Vihren again. Not sure when. The summer season is over.

Out of flowers

The fall is coming. The flowers are being replaced by falling fruit. It’s less blog-worthy. The previous generations didn’t imagine a situation in which fruits will rot on the ground.

I’m pleasantly surprised that things can blossom despite the dry summer.

North of Sofia Tech Park, no irrigation anywhere close.

This is in the park, irrigation everywhere.

Hundreds of stage trucks

I didn’t have a good angle to capture the vast number of stage trucks parked near Arena Sofia, but they were at least 50. So many that they made me want to visit Armin van Buuren’s show this week. What did they bring with the trucks? So curious.

I may settle with reading a book with a similarly named character. Savine dan Glokta is waiting for me.
