To think 20 years ago in Spain you could buy a large Finca/Villa with Land for £10 grand - the same Finca today is £400,000 to £1 million - Bulgaria has snow Mountains, white sandy beaches, is in the EU and is just at the start of a massive property boom.
A good start is to get one of the free guides available from a link on this page. Free inspection flights and property guide. A 3 course dinner in a good restaurant in the Capital Sofia with Local wine will set you back £7 per head. Beer 50p a Pint, and a quote from the Daily Mail "a 14 year old hooker for £3.00" So a bit of a wild west type of place with great beauty, but also a very seedy side if you like that kind of thing. Property is going up at 33% a year in the more popular resorts and buildings are going up all over the place. Bloody Amazing!
