Bulgaria is a country located in Southeastern Europe, with a population estimated to be around 7 million people. It is known for its diverse landscapes, including the Black Sea coastline, the Balkan Mountains, and historic cities like Sofia and Plovdiv. The official language spoken in Bulgaria is Bulgarian.

Many British or Irish expatriates live in Bulgaria for work, retirement, or personal reasons. They contribute to the local economy, engage in various industries, and appreciate the cultural heritage and natural beauty of Bulgaria.
