Dimitrovgrad
Dimitrovgrad has one of Bulgaria's biggest Pazars. It is a market town comparable to Jatujak for Bangkok and Merida in Yucatan. You can find all sorts of local products as well as imports from Turkey, Greece and China. It is situated in the South-East corner of Bulgaria, close to the Turkish and Greek borders and a short drive from Plovidiv the country's second largest city. People come from all over Bulgaria and South-East Europe to trade. You can taste lots of different foods and buy almost anything. But the fashion style is pretty drab.
Dimitrovgrad, named after the Bulgarian Lenin, Georgi Dimitrov, was built by volunteers in the fifties who came from all over Bulgaria to erect a modern communist city. The architecture is Russian, solid brick-built buildings and wide avenues.
