Veliko Tarnovo is a like a rough diamond. The first thing you come across on approaching the village is what looks like a rock mine, on closer inspection it's infact a massive construction site. However, go beyond the construction site, head into the heart of the old town, and it's a lot more pleasant to the human eye. You find yourself in a maze of narrow, cobbled alleyways that cling to the mountain side and look down into the river below. The houses here are small and traditional style, with intricate wooden balconies and stone walls covered by grape vines. The air is filled with the scent of burning wood.
It turns out that Veliko Tarnovo infact means Great Tarnovo. Just imagine that. "So where do YOU come from"? "I come from Estupenda Barcelona!"
