Losing one’s way between history and modernity, stopping, or, even better, turning back time… We have all, at one time or another wanted to go back in time without leaving the present. There are places like that in Bulgaria, they still exist. One such place is the village of Brashlyan in Mount Strandzha, 15 kilometres from the town of Malko Turnovo and a little over 60 kilometres south of Bourgas on the Black Sea.
