Revised and updated for this third edition, this handbook offers a practical guide to the region and includeds detailed coverage of the big three cities of Granada, Seville and Cordoba. It also covers all the basics - where to stay for all budgets including hotels, paradores, fondas, camping and Footprint's "something special" recommendations. The guide includes a special feature on fiestas and festivals, listings of restaurants, bodegas and tapas bars, bars, nightlife, entertainment and shopping. Planning a visit with highlights of the region illustrated in colour together with basic Spanish for visitors is also included. The author of this updated guide has lived in Andalucia since 1980, and his intention is to convey his enthusiasm about the variety of the region to all travellers, whether they are individuals on a tight budget, or visitors who are looking for comfortable accommodation and good food. In addition to detailed practical information, it focuses on the uniqueness of this part of Spain and includes coverage of wildlife, history, scenery, sport, food and wines.

I live in Andalucia and have read a few guide books.
This one is the best by far. It gives complete and accurate information about every city and large town in the region. It has the opening hours for most attractions, recommended restaurants and hotels, and even a guide to the best surfing beaches. It is also a mine of interesting historical information and all of it is presented in a clear easy-to-read style.
Highly recommended.

A very detailed and informative guide book. If focuses on cultural things like history, architecture and sights rather than practical things like hotels and restaurants (but it does have some suggestions). If you're wondering whether to get this or the Lonely Planet guide, get both: they are both excellent and they complement each other (LP better on practicalities but less thorough).

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book covers the architectural and natural wonders of Andalusia, but skimps on helpful information about restaurants, shopping, and to some extent, lodging.
