Banya, Plovdiv Province

BANYA, Bulgaria — Like the storks that glide in on their annual pilgrimage from Africa, we try to spend every summer in my wife's home village of Banya in southwestern Bulgaria.

The new 52 electric buses which  Sofia Municipality will buy will be two types.

30 of them will be 5.5 to 7.5 meters long and the remaining 22 will be between 7.6 and 9.6 meters long. The shorter ones will have about 25 seats and the longer ones will have 60 seats for passengers. The information was announced on the social network by the Deputy Mayor of Sofia, Doncho Barbalov.

The halt will continue until 8:00 pm tonight. 

A major plumbing breakdown left all the southern quarters of Sofia without water. Due to the water supply problem in the Simeonovo Quarter, the districts Dragalevtsi, Malinova Dolina, Kinocentar, Boyana, Knyazhevo, Vladaya and Gorna Banya remain without water in the evening.

,,The repair and restoration of the mineral bath in Bankya will end in one year'', said Yordanka Fandakova, Mayor of Sofia.

The mineral bath will open doors as a place for spa tourism but will also function as a cultural center, she specified:

Each of the municipalities will receive 15,000 euros, reported NOVA TV. 

Free high-speed internet connection will be build on the territory of 113 Bulgarian municipalities. They will receive € 15,000 within the WiFi4EU campaign.

About 90% of the construction works of the metro station from Line 3 of the metro "Bul.Bulgaria" are done. Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova and the Executive Director of Metropolitan EAD Prof. Stoyan Bratoev checked the progress of the site. Finishing works are currently under way.

The municipality of Sofia has learned their lesson from the repair of Graf Ignatiev Street and it is that it misses the moment for serious communication with the citizens and just the completion of the job is not enough. This is what Sofia mayor Yordanka Fandakova told Darik radio on Saturday.

Bulgaria is the second country in Europe after Iceland by the number of sources of mineral and spring water, with the country's main sources of water are around 500. The country's registered deposits are 146, but only 30% of the country's full capacity is used.

Massive protests are being held by the rose producers in the country because of the low purchase price of the pink color. This was announced by Zara Klisurova, chairman of the National Union of Producers of Essential Oil, Oil and Energy Cultures in Bulgaria.

Currently, the roads for  Rozino village and Banya town are closed.

Bulgaria offers many destinations suitable for health tourism.

In most resorts nowadays procedures are offered to improve the overall well being of the body, but still there are countries whose natural resources give them an advantage in the industry and Bulgaria is one of them.
