ABC News Recommends St. Augustine as an International Destination for Americans
ABC News' Good Morning America listed St. Augustine as their number one selection of places Americans could go "to feel as though they had jetted across the Atlantic without breaking the bank." The nationally-broadcast news segment was prepared in cooperation with Travel + Leisure magazine and was designed to show Americans that, even in tough economic times, they can experience international atmosphere without leaving the borders of the USA.
"For a Spanish vacation without buying a plane ticket to Madrid, try St. Augustine, Florida," said ABC News. "It's the nation's oldest city and is filled with Spanish-colonial architecture. It feels like Old World Spain complete with cobblestone streets, courtyards and an old colonial quarter." The segment went on to suggest that for the complete Spanish experience, viewers should stay at the Casa Monica Hotel – "a Moorish revival castle located in the heart of St. Augustine and is a majestic 1888 landmark." The segment noted the hotel "feels so much like the real Spain," that the King and Queen of Spain stayed there on their most recent visit.
Each morning, Good Morning America is watched by nearly five million Americans. To see the entire segment on video, go to: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=5364614
