"Pedestrian bridge made into a market full of interesting stores!
Get on the walk above the river Maritsa and check out the stores!

"The pedestrian bridge is full of quirky little shops that sells everything from metallic gear, men's and woman's boutique clothing, housewares, pick and mix sweets and lots more.
All the shops are fairly small but quite unique. At the far end there is a discount designer outlet shop which is very similar to the famous designer outlet stores all over UK and Ireland. Well worth a visit."
