 PRIMORSKO
Primorsko
is famous for its graceful arcing ten-kilometer sandy beach,
the longest and prettiest on the coast. The resort is a haven
for youth and working Bulgarians who flock here in droves to
avail themselves of the numerous trade union rest homes, hostels,
student dorms and campgrounds. Under communism, Primorsko was
the site of the Georgi Dimitrov International Youth Resort Center
(Mezdunaroden Mladezhki Tsentur, or MMC) which annually attracted
thousands of communist youth from around the world who, fittingly,
camped out in huge communal tents. While the centre of Primorsko
is an overbuilt urbanlike sprawl, the MMC and nearby areas on
the water are pleasant. If you happen to find cemeteries picturesque,
there is an especially peaceful plot perched on the top of the
bluff overlooking Primosko's beach.
There are plenty of outdoor cafes, discos that thump around
the clock, and inexpensive eateries such as the beachside Delfin
Snack Bar (try the tasty midi pane [breaded deep fried mussels]).
For the intrepid traveler curious to see how the current generation
of Bulgarian youth is embracing capitalist excess, Primorsko
is where it's happening. But if it's peace and quiet you're
after, better look elsewhere.
