Far better prices than the shops and the bigger market places and of course quality just as good with the generations of know how in Yambol small holdings and gardens

Yambol's Borovets Bus Shelter

An Imposing Tower Block in Yambol's Borovets Area

A Lovely Little Walk In Yambol's Borovets Area

One of my favourite walks is here by the main road that borders the Borovets area of Yambol. If only I had time to stop off at the cafe for a coffee or beer each time I walk here! On the right a lovely little park and on the left lots of furniture shops.

A New Yambol Restaurant Opens

This used to be a Chinese styled restaurant sitaution in the middle of an area called Borovets. It closed down to be become the nerve centre for the Bulgarian political party GERB, which subsequently won the National elections earlier this year. It now has returened to being a restauarant again albeit 100% Bulagrian with no chinese menus now. The GERB party had moved to new offices 200 metres down the road. We tried it out a few weeks ago, good but expensive, not our choice next time round!

Yambol City From A Distance

This is Yambol seen from a couple of kilometres out on the road to the big village of Roza some 10 kilometres firthe up the road. You can sse the hill where the TV mast is situated at the top and the Borovets Hotel half way up the hill. This is the road I take to Skalitsa (37 kilomtres away) each weekend.

Yambol's Borovets Restaurant/Hotel

A couple of hundred metres of climbing is needed to reach this restaurant and hotel called Borovets no in the winter snow. I have just had a beer once in the garden area a couple of summers ago where they have a rockery pond and great views over the main Gypsy quarters of Yambol. They have many tourists staying here and a discotheque that has had good reviews from people I know who have been there.
