Turia village is situated in the northern skirts of the Sredna Gora Mountains, 172 km to the East of the capital city Sofia. The locals call Turia “the small Venice” for its 17 bridges over small springs. The village is known for the sense of humour of its 500 inhabitants and as a birth place of the most famous Bulgarian comic writer and artist Chudomir.
Since the dawn of mankind, the spring brings new hopes for fertility, good health and crops. Bulgarian people hold the Kukeri festival seven weeks before Easter on the eve of the new agricultural season in order to ensure that the coming cycle of Nature will be good to them. The Kukeri rituals coincide with the Christian Orthodox holiday Sirni Zagovezni, when people ask each other forgiveness for their wrong-doings.
