World Tube https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Bulgaria Travel Guide http://bit.ly/11miBJu Go on a journey with Shepherd entertainment and discover the sites and wonders of Golden Sand in the Bulgarian Riviera, Spain. Learn about the popular tourists spots and the variety of hotels, boat trips and entertainment it presents to its visitors. Discover the rich selection of unique traditional Bulgarian restaurants, snack bars and shopping spots. Golden Sand, -- in Bulgarian has been the show piece of the seaside since 1957 celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2007. Its popularity is partly due to the airport in Varna which is close to here. The 3.5km long and 120m wide passage had 50 hotels in 1967. Today, there are many more increasingly modern hotels to choose from. Over 16000 beds are available in hotels, apartments and villas. The slopping hills covered by forests reach all the way down to the sandy beach. The hills and the surroundings, besides giving a beautiful view protect the beach from the cool winds. On the north side of the resort complex, lies the harbor called fisherman's village where cruise ships looking like old pirate boats lie at anchor. The modern metal frame is covered by wooden structures and the decoration also gives the impression that we've gone back in time. Half or full day trips are available to Valchek, Albeyna, -- Constantine and Varna. Lunch served on deck consists mainly of grilled fish and salad. Those who would like a slightly more modern way of travelling than with pirates may set sail in the Black Sea in a real old timer built on a raft. There's also an outdoor stage here which is protected by towers. In the morning, performances for children are held and in the evening plays are performed. Information about the programs is available at the reception desk of hotels. If you're lucky, you can see a real folklore performance or meet the stars of the local pop music scene. The most sought after specialty of the restaurant of fisherman's village is pig roasted on a spit. The device that rotates the skewer is driven by water power. Cooking on an open fire outside and dishes made over a grill or a spit have always been a big tradition all over the Balkan area. Nowadays, there may be no resort in the world where there are no small buses which look like small trains. We can find them on Golden Sand too, where they're needed considering the length of the beach. As traveling by car is not really an option here, we should walk along the seaside until we reach the beach or restaurant or shop we like and on the way back, we can take one of these cheap small buses. The seafront following the traditions of seaside beaches has every kind of shop, restaurant and entertainment facility. Some grocery stores are open even at night and none of them close before 11 p.m. In the shops, we can buy clothes, shoes, swimsuits, suntan lotion, souvenirs, watches, medicine, bags, stationary, film, batteries, toys, newspaper and many other things. The snack bars also offer a great variety. Choose from a selection of donuts, pancakes, corn, fruit salad, hamburgers, giros, pizza, sandwiches, hotdogs and ice cream. In the restaurants, we can choose from traditional Bulgarian dishes as well as Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Russian and other international dishes. We can have photographs taken of ourselves in various costumes, attend dance or surfing courses and hire a boat. The banks usually close at 4 in the afternoon but some exchange booths are open all day. Almost all tourists have breakfast at the hotel between 8 and 10 in the morning. International fastfood restaurants and the buffets of Golden beach are open until late evening. But the restaurants usually open only for lunch at noon and close at 3 in the afternoon. Diner time is from 6 to 11 in the evening. In Bulgaria, people have a siesta in the afternoon because of the hot climate. In restaurants, the service is mainly slow. The custom is that people spend three or four hours eating and chatting at the table. At more frequented places, we can find a menu in English and/or German and those who work in tourism mostly speak these two languages. Those who've ever learned Russian can use their knowledge here, at least reading the text written in Cyrillic letters.
