bb-ga,
Here's the same list as before, except that I've marked cities with an
asterisk (*) if -- from my experience -- I would consider them to be
substantial tourist cities. Of course, other opinions may differ, but
for the most part, the un-asterisked cities are the ones you're
looking for.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you,
