Romanians and foreigners.How did he distinguish itself and why is it so visitated?
The wood engraving,the churches with towers, the royal gates of the houses, the costumes, the dances and music, the “humanity” of the guests and the horinca dance are just a few things that bring you back to the North of Romania, if you experience living in a pension and crave for being as close as possible to the life of Maramures.Nowadays, the exterior of the houses are slightly transformed to the detriment of tradition, life is different as it used to be in the beginning, but the people are warm, gentle, with sense of humour and strange charisma, stubborns to maintain their heritage and conscious of its value.
The fact that the region is full of pensions and small hotels, gives you the certainty that you will be welcomed no matter where you knock.Any journey to this land of the founder voivodes signifies a worship of the Romanian soul’s value.
