A travel to Bulgaria in the months of May or June is incomplete if you do not visit the Rose valley. The Rose valley is located in the town of Kazanlak, which is around 230 kms from Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. As I learnt, Rosa Damascena was brought to Bulgaria from Syria by crusader Robert de Brie in the mid 13th century. The cultivation of the Rosa Damascena and its production in Kazanlak began shortlyRead More →
