Ciudad Encantadora / Enchanting Town (Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria)





























Велико Търново, това e средновековната столица на България с повече от 7000 години история (Veliko Tárnovo, la capital medieval de Bulgaria, nos ofrece más de siete mil años de Historia. Veliko Tarnovo, the medieval capital of Bulgaria, is brought to you with more than 7000 years of history.) Арбанашките къщи-крепости (las fortalezas amuralladas de Arbanassi, the Arbanassi fortress-houses) дворци и кули, (palacios y torres, palaces and towers) великолепни музеи, (espectaculares museos, spectacular museums) древните колони с надписи на гордите ни владетели, (antiguas columnas donde dejaron sus inscripciones sus orgullosos gobernantes, ancient columns with writings left by their proud rulers) и манастири с богат стенопис, (y monasterios con murales únicos, and monasteries with unique murals).



































Това са най-сетне нощите, изпълнени с равния, непрекъснат глас на реката, блясъци и неясни светлини, играещи по приказната фасада на града и шумът от преливащия с енергия бурен живот на студентите. (Las noches se llenan con el murmullo permanente del río, las brillantes e hipnóticas luces jugando en la fachada feérica de la ciudad, y el ruido de la tormentosa y energética vida estudiantil. The nights are filled with the constant voice of the river, the glitters and dazed lights, playing on the fairy face of the town and the noise of the energy-filled stormy student's life.)

Това са къщите, наставени една над друга по стръмните склонове на града. (Las casas, apiladas unas encima de las otras, se sitúan en las desaliñadas colinas de la ciudad. / The houses, stacked one above the other, are situated on the sloppy hills of the town.)
