Abstract: Half day and half night the way through the Rhodope. The feeling and desire to see this place, and at the same time to discover the tradition created over the centuries by these inhabitants, made me feel very close to the early periods of different civilisations and cultures that have washed their traces in this place, as well as the cultural originality of this city which was jealously preserved to this day in various museums. Walking through the alleys day and night enabled me to feel more and more the aroma of the river of stones with which the traditional houses are built, the spirit of the mountains and the traditional clothes that are adapted to the climate of this place.
