“Guimarães is crucial to Portugal's history -- it was named
the country's first capital in the 12th century, and its medieval core remains
largely intact, full of convents, grand old palaces and a crumbling castle,
perched on top of a bluff.
“Like everywhere in Portugal, local bakeries make a mean
pastel de nata, but here you should try the local speciality: torta di
Guimarães -- a pastry filled with squash and ground almonds,” states CNN
Travel.
The list also includes Giethoorn (Netherlands), Roscoff
(France), Anghiari (Italy), Nafplio (Greece), Mostar (Bosnia and Herzigovina),
Mazara del Vallo (Sicily), Clovelly (United Kingdom), Dinkelsbühl (Germany),
Korcula (Croatia), Kenmare (Ireland), Piran (Slovenia), Reine (Norway), Regens
(Spain), and Tarnów (Poland).
“Paris, Rome, Barcelona... Europe's cities are bucket list
destinations, and rightly so. But the continent's small towns are a dream, too,
with all the beautiful architecture and much of the culture you'll find in the
big hitters, only with fewer crowds to share them with”, concludes CNN Travel.
Mazara del Vallo (Sicily)
Google Maps, or any map, would tell you that Sicily is an Italian island. Not a country.
