New York Times elects the Azores as a destination to meet in 2019
The US-renowned publication highlighted the Azores Archipelago in ninth place in the list of the 52 destinations to visit this year.
In the first three places are Puerto Rico, Santa Barbara (in the United States) and Panama, respectively.
Still, and winning an honourable ninth place, the journalist Sebastian Modak gives the motto about the charms of the Portuguese islands:
“In the cool Atlantic Ocean, within a four-hour flight from the United States, the sub-tropical volcanic islands of the Azores, with UNESCO World Heritage sites and biospheres, are waiting to be discovered.”
By 2018, the New York Times had first sent a traveller to discover 52 other destinations. And now it’s the journalist’s turn
Sebastian Modak, winner of a contest that received applications from around the world. This year, the trip begins in Puerto Rico.
