We get all the crowds we need in the winter season in TV.

And I’ll only go to big cities. I prefer cities in general. One of my unexpected favorites being Istanbul. I was in Barcelona a couple of years ago and I think a main reason lots of these cities don’t want tourists is that they’re also cruise ports. I don’t think the general public understands how many people flood the streets when just one ship docks, much less several in a day. But that goes against what they’re complaining about which is cost of living/rentals. Do people still even use airbnb for a few nights? I know I don’t. It’s kind of like the amount of Villages homes purchased to be only rentals…
