Pécs, in south of Hungary, is one of the European capital of culture in 2010. Banners and brochures everywhere to publicize it.
Blessed with a Mediterranean climate it brings me luck: the good weather finally arrives!

In addition to its long history (in the past it has been an important Roman colony under the name of Sopianae) even this city counts some good wines. And it ran into an event which brings together groups from all around the world.

And then there are the buildings, many of them of baroque-style:

Finally, after visiting some museum and the remains of one of the most major paleo-christian cemetery outside Italy, I run into a guitar concert.
