Weathered concrete buildings, sagging tiles and grass verges thick with dandelions hark back to communist days when the town, less than an hour’s drive from Turkey and Greece, was part of a Warsaw Pact military zone. But a buzz of Saturday-morning activity in the main square points to a more lively future.
Elhovo is an unlikely hot-spot in Bulgaria’s property boom. British couples throng the cafés and half-a-dozen estate agents’ offices, which advertise properties in 20-odd villages in the surrounding area, provide an informal meeting-place for new residents."
