I have just read an article that states 6 other towns:-
Almaty (Kazakhstan) / Bordjomi (Georgia) / Jaca (Spain) / Piong Chang (Republic of Korea) / Salzburg (Austria) / Sochi (Russia). The article states according to 'gossip' that Korea and the Austrians are favourites. This was in the Bulgarian Property Digest.
