Sofia Local Customs: 71 reviews and 82 photos
There is a common place where the local people arrange to meet each other. It is called informally 'Popa' named after the monument there.
Location: the crossroad of the streets Graf Ignatiev, Partriarh Evtimij and Vassil Levski
Review Helpfulness: 
This is one of the Bulgarian customs: in March we give Marteniza to our friends and to the family members to wish them health and happiness.
Once you receive a Marteniza you should wear it until you see a stork or until the spring comes. Since there are not many storks in the cities you may see Martenza on the trees.
