I want water

文化背景

Public fountains (cheshmi) are a staple of Bulgarian towns. It is perfectly normal to stop and drink for free. Water is always served with Turkish coffee or espresso in Bulgarian cafes to cleanse the palate. Mineral water is often preferred over tap water (cheshmjana voda) in cities, and there are many local brands like Devin and Bankia. The tradition of 'pouring water' for luck is still practiced before big life events.
