There are countless Bulgarian flags flying in Yambol. Another one was spotted over vineyards on the outskirts fo Yambol. You can never predict where they turn up.
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.
