County Călăraşi

Cowboy Călăraşi

Much like the cowboys of the Camargue, Călăraşi means "the cowboys" in Romanian, who roam the not entirely dissimilar lowlands and river plains of far southern Romania.

The county features the two main towns of Călăraşi and Olteniţa, both on the Danube, and three other smaller towns, Budeşti, Fundulea and Lehliu-Gară.  There are also 48 communes in the county.

Călăraşi, the capital of Călăraşi County is situated in south-east of Romania, in Wallachia, on the bank of Borcea branch of the Danube, at about 12 kilometres from the Bulgarian border and 125 kilometres from Bucharest.

The city is an industrial centre for lumber and paper, food processing, glass manufacturing, textiles, medical equipment production and heavy industry branches.
