A tender has been officially launched in May 2026 for the construction of a natural gas network in Costești and three neighboring communes. This major infrastructure investment will significantly improve energy security and the quality of life in the region.
Costești, located in the southern part of Argeș County, is a typical small Romanian town deeply rooted in the agricultural landscape of the Wallachian Plain. As a local administrative and commercial center for the surrounding villages, it provides an authentic insight into the region's rural life. The town is situated on the banks of the Teleorman River, and its economy is traditionally based on agriculture, especially grain cultivation. The urban landscape is simple and functional, with a central square, the town hall, and a few shops catering to daily needs. For visitors, Costești is not a primary tourist destination, but it features a quiet, unadulterated experience off the beaten path. It is a place where one can observe the slow pace of Romanian rural life. Nearby is the Costești reservoir, which provides opportunities for fishing and recreation during the summer. A visit to Costești is an opportunity to connect with everyday Romania, far from the major tourist attractions, and to experience the simple hospitality of the local people.
