Gala Dinners

Can anyone tell me what the "Gala Dinners" are like? We are going to the Iglika Palace in Borovets over Christmas and just wondered what to expect or whether it would be better to go out for supper that night? Any advice or info gratefully received. Razz

re: Gala Dinners

Same sort of story for me we were at the Lion in Borovets last year, free soft drinks and water on the table, wine was dirt cheap (Bulgarian fizz for £4 a bottle and I have tasted far worse in the UK!). You'll find it's quite a long and drawn out affair, nobody will rush, but it's nice because you can cathc up with your fellow skiers - we made pals on Xmas day that we caught up with in the bar every night for the rest of the week. Have fun
