I guess my friends and I are ahead of a trend here... The Sunday NYT travel section will include a feature on "The 53 places to go in 2008."
#45 -- Malaga
The southern coast of Spain is not just about high-rise hotels and water-gulping golf courses. Next June, Delta Air Lines plans to inaugurate nonstop service to the Andalusian port city of Málaga — a major cultural center, with its impressive array of museums and monuments, including an 11th-century Moorish fortress. Delta will fly from Kennedy Airport to Málaga’s international airport, named after the city’s favorite son Pablo Picasso.
The top 5 places to go are: Laos, Lisbon, Tunisia, Mauritius and Mid-Beach Miami (Seriously, Miami? South Beach follows as No. 6).
