To travel. Never had a verb been pronounced with such enthusiasm. Between the two syllables that form one of the most repeated words of the year, they have also installed a cluster of emotions uncertainty, caused by frequent changes in entry requirements at destinations; frustration , motivated by the return of the great doubt (what do I put in the suitcase?); euphoria, whose highest levels have been recorded in those seconds in which the plane was about to take off; happiness , generated by those long-awaited reunions; nostalgia, palliated by a escape spontaneous to that destiny that marked a before and after in our lives; Calm down , which we have found in the most spectacular rural corners of our geography; love, the engine that moves our favorite accommodations; and, on occasions, fear, or rather, lack of courage to throw ourselves into doing that great trip , the one that has been waiting for us for a long time more than five home borders.
And, above all, gratitude, a feeling with which we reveal today the Gold List 2022, the list of Condé Nast Traveler's favorites of the world of travel, which this year comes with changes: for the first time, Spain and Portugal share protagonism in the usual categories, while the rest of the world is representing by ten hotels from each continent.
