A while ago, Natalia Delfino, who a few days ago published an article in Blog de Viajes, passed me this link from the argentinean newspaper La Nacion. The article was very interesting: according to a survey made by the american magazine Condé Nas Traveler, Buenos Aires appears fifth as one of the most attractive cities in the world “for the kindness of its inhabitants, for the environment in the streets, for the rich cultural agenda, for the good restaurants, for the comfort of the hotels and the wide supply of products at shopping time, according to the voted categories”.
Obviously, the first thing I did was to visit Concierge.com, the site of Condé Nast Traveler in the web, and consulted the Gold List 2004.

The problem is that I couldn’t find the ranking of cities and, instead, what I found was a ranking list of hotels, selected by categories such as food, service, etc.

Unfortunately, the edition of La Nacion doesn’t include a website address where to corroborate the information stated in the article, and only says that “the results of the survey have been published in the website and the past 4th of this month, those who obtained the first positions, received their awards in a glamorous ceremony conducted by the model Cindy Crawford, in New York City.”

At least for now, the ranking of cities does not appear in the Gold List published on the Internet. I Checked in Google News, the only media that publishes the story in spanish is La Nacion. In english, I still haven’t found anything.

I appeal to good will of my lectors: if someone finds this ranking of cities in the pages of Concierge.com or any other publication of Condé Nest Traveler, please let me know.
