On February 24 and 25 the mountain town, nestled at the foot of Mount Maragidik, is expected to welcome more than 10,000 Bulgarian and foreign guests. They will be able to try the meal "Babina Gozba/ Granny’s Stew", prepared in a large pan, as well as other traditional Balkan specialties. Strong mulled brandy will be available everywhere.
