How is MALAGA ‘Less Traveled’?

Visit tripadvisor.com and go to Malaga forum.

You’ll see the British sun seekers are craaaazy about Malaga and the beach resorts scattered around the region. Exactly the reason why I canceled my trip to Malaga.

Maybe not famous in the US, Yes, but Malaga is popular for western Europeans seeking somewhere sunnier than their own miserable, cold countries

St. Petersberg is a bargain. I went there a few years back and couldn’t believe how much cheaper it was compared to the rest of the state’s coastal cities.

They’re all beautiful cities, but if you’re in Andalucia don’t miss Ronda, only an hour away from Malaga but with Spain’s oldest bullring, and one of the most impressive bridges in the world.

Great list! I haven’t been to any of these towns but the all look great (especially the ones in Europe). You way want to look at Sanaa (capital city of Yemen) – I came across it in my travel research and it looks absolutely gorgeous with some unique quality I can’t quite place – I remember reading about it being dubbed the “NY of the desert” – this description works at least form the pictures I’ve seen. Oh – and to top it off, there are awesome mountains just behind the city!

Ahh, good ol’ St. Pete. I used to live there, now I live in Western NC. I do miss it, but cultural neighborhoods? Seriously? The only cultural neighborhood difference is if you cross over Central into the South Side. Which I would not recommend for tourists. The beaches are the best in the US, and always offer some interesting people watching opportunities. If you do go to St. Pete you MUST hit up Feola’s Pizza which is near Tyrone Mall (I can’t remember the street number off the top of my head). They have the best pizza and calzones out of anywhere I’ve tried.

Now for an addition, Western NC. Franklin has gem mines which offer cheap and serious family fun. The best is Rose Creek Mine. You can find rubies, sapphires, garnets, and emeralds just to name a few. There is also some amazing hiking on the Appalachian Trail which runs through Franklin. There’s a few trails that have some awesome waterfalls too. 30 minutes north of Franklin is Dillsboro/Sylva. There’s a railroad that you can ride that seems like it might be a lot of fun. I’ve never actually ridden it but I’ve seen it pass by and everyone looks happy. A little north of that is Cherokee where there is a casino and also Unto These Hills which is some kind of show. I’ve been meaning to go nut never actually have. I have heard great things about it though. All of this is super close to Asheville which has all the nightlife and such you could ever want!!

I’d add Kansas City to the list as well.
