Pushevo village is a lovely small and friendly place it sits on the side of a hillside and only has about 50 residents.
The river Yantra runs through the village and you can sit on the bridge and fish or paddle in the clean water.
We have a couple of small shops where you can buy essentials or sit out side and have a drink of the local beer Zagorka for about 20 a pint.
Time stands still in Pushevo, your local form of transport is a donkey and cart, and everyone grows there own fruit and vegetables etc.
The locals are so very friendly, they wave as you drive past, or invite you in for a drink of Rakia, a potent Bulgarian home made brandy, be careful its very very strong!.
If you need eggs for breakfast ask at the shop and they will send you to a local who keeps free range hens, you can collect your own eggs if you like, they taste fantastic.
Its like stepping back in time here ,no one seems to have a care in the world, just sitting and chatting and enjoying the hot Bulgarian sunshine.
Chiflika complex Ledenik. Only a short distance away is a fantastic swimming pool complex with bar and restaurant , its a very large pool with showers etc, and in there is live entertainment in the bar every night, its great. In the summer months they even have famous Bulgarian singers performing outside in the complex .. Fantastic..!
Im sure you will relax and love it here. If you want something a bit more lively then dont worry just get a taxi for about 3 pounds, or hire a car, or catch the local bus, or donkey and cart, in to our nearby city of Veliko Turnovo,, see next paragraph The ancient city of Veliko TarnovoVeliko Turnovo used to be Bulgarias Capital City it is a magical place full of cobbled streets museums churches shops restaurants you name it VT has got it, but it still retains its charm.
