Blagoevgrad

Blagoevgrad Province stretches from the high ridges of the Rila Mountains to Bulgaria’s border with Greece, encompassing the Pirin range and the broad Struma Valley. This is Bulgaria’s mountainous southwest, where the Struma runs south towards the Aegean and routes through the valleys have long linked the Balkans with the Mediterranean. Pirin National Park protects a major part of the rugged Pirin Mountains and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Bansko combines a preserved old quarter with a prominent modern mountain-resort role, while Melnik is associated with local wine production and its distinctive sandstone surroundings.
