The Black Vulture returned to Dobrogea after more than half a century

When we were preparing to say that for Dobrogea, 2021 was the year of the flamingos, the end of the year brought us another big surprise. The Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus), an extinct species in Romania for more than half a century, has reappeared in Dobrogea. If until this year there were sporadic reports of birds in transit, now is the first time that a Black Vulture chooses to stay longer...

Nature’s show in your home, offered by Mesta creations

Paintings carved in natural stone, onyx with unreal hues, which you watch for minutes and cannot take your eyes off it, drawings of marble, granite and travertine, in different combinations of colours and cutouts, all Mesta creations bring to mind the tales from "The 1001 Arabian Nights". I admired them at the Mesta marble and travertine showroom in Constanța for more than two hours and I could...

Appetizers, food, fish sweets. No meal without fish at Sfântu Gheorghe

During the communist era, when Romania's president was Nicolae Ceausescu, there was the slogan: "No meal without fish." At that time, this ad was on many blocks of flats, at intersections or in shops, and we were all urged to eat fish. Obviously, I thought it was a joke, and that nobody would ever eat fish at all meals. Oh, well! I have found out that there were times when the inhabitants of...

The traditional Dobrudjan household, a rare sight nowadays

The butter churn, the wooden vessel for water, big wooden spoons, barks, traditional napkins, the dowry chest, gossamer fabrics, and many other things long forgotten in this era of technology, were always present in the traditional Dobrudjan household. Now, they only remind us of the objects of our grandparents in the country, but about others we have read only in stories. At the Folk Art Museum...

How King Carol II gave the “vinegar-like sour Austrian wines” for the sweet wines from Murfatlar

King Carol II fell in love with the Murfatlar wines and he ordered in 1939 the transition of the nursery from state property of the royal domanin. Dobrudja, the region caressed by the sunrays, lying between the Black Sea and the Danube, has a wine history that dates back from the days of the Dacians. It is said that Burebista, the King of the Getae and Dacians, urged his people to abstinence...

All those who love the architecture of the Constanta Casino have been waiting for ages for the derelict symbolic building of the city to be rehabilitated. One can shoot a film out of the dramas of the Constanta Casino’s life that could beat the box office record. It has known glory and decay for many times, it knows what it is like to be wealthy, but also dirt poor. Its problems have started...
