Dor de Vama.......
......Missing Vama Veche......
Vama Veche is a village in Romania on the Black Sea coast, near the border with Bulgaria. Its current name literally means "Old customs point".
Even in Communist Romania, Vama Veche had the reputation of a non-mainstream tourist destination, which has only grown since the Romanian Revolution of 1989. During the communist era, concern for border patrol sight lines spared Vama Veche the development that occurred in other Romanian Black Sea resorts. It became a hangout for intellectuals; for reasons that are not exactly clear, the generally repressive regime of Nicolae Ceausescu chose to tolerate this countercultural oasis, as long as people had their identity papers with them. Accommodations consisted of tents or rooms rented from peasants or fishermen.[2] While camping is theoretically not permitted, to this day, many visitors or semi-permanent residents still stay in tents on the beach.
Famous for its nude beach, since the late 1990s Vama Veche has experienced development and gentrification, which has led to a "Save Vama Veche" campaign that is lobbying for the area's environmental conservation and a halt to development and mass tourism. A major part of the Save Vama Veche campaign is the 2003 founding of the Stufstock music festival.

Din pacate Vama Veche s-a pierdut undeva in timp, cea de azi abia o recunosti, cea veche inca aduce mult dor. Ca sa fac un paralelism cu o formatie cunoscuta.. a ramas doar Vama. Mi-e dor de cea Veche.Salutari,
