Perhaps you have heard of Bulgarian folk music or Bulgarian hospitality. Leave the lively atmosphere of the coast behind you and immerse yourself in a completely different world: discover the bucolic landscapes and the village of Orizaré, where you will be warmly welcomed according to tradition with bread and salt to the tunes of the bagpipes (a Bulgarian musical instrument). Strolling through the large inner courtyard, you will make a good trip back in time and discover among other things an old watermill, the atmosphere of the old houses of yesteryear with their furnishings, working and everyday tools, period costumes or a small chapel, all this to project you into the way of life of the Bulgarians in the past.
This is when you can immerse yourself in the rhythm and colours of the fascinating typical dance show. The virtuosity of the artists will take your breath away with their lyrical songs that will give way to the rhythms of the drums and the dizzying steps of the dancers.
Delicious Bulgarian cuisine, wine and local brandy will be served at your table. The highlight of the evening will be dancing on the embers to the rhythm of the bagpipes, a spectacular dance found only in the coastal region of southern Bulgaria.
