Borovec : The Michelin guide review

Hidden 1 300 m up among pine trees at the foot of Mt Musala (1hr by car from Sofia), Borovec is Bulgaria’s oldest ski resort and is equally popular with summer tourists. In nearby Samokov is the stunning Bajrakli mosque, in the National Revival style. Samakov is also the birthplace of the Zographos icon painting school, founded in 1770.
