Format:Paperback
This guide is one of the most substantial I have read and contains just about everything you need to know about the region of Catalonia and the coastal area of the Costa Brava.
There is a long and detailed section on Barcelona which includes town maps, recommendations on where to eat, drink and stay and of course information on the myriad monuments and museums. You will soon realise that a day in Barcelona is not nearly enough to see it all.
Similarly, you will soon realise that to appreciate all of Catalonia and the Costa Brava, you'll need more than a two week holiday.
Culture and history are covered in this guide, and the eat-drink-sleep recommendations include a useful price ranking and useful 'I've been there' hints and tips.
After reading this book you will feel inspired to see more of the region: both inland and the coast. It's not a pocket-sized book though, so you may need to jot down some ideas and make a 'not to be missed' list as you read it.

Useful like most LP guides

I'm a big fan of Lonely Planet guides, so carried this (and the LP Spain guide as well) on a recent trip to NE Spain. This is a relatively recent edition, and so I found it to be largely accurate, though (understandably) some prices and hours had changed. Every phone number I tried was accurate, and the guide led me to some cheaper/better than the usual hotels. Of course, the flip-side of that is that the cheaper/better hotels are more likely to be booked up because they are mentioned in LP.
There were a few bars or restaurants in Barcelona that had either changed names or closed (or I completely missed them) that were in the guide... And if you are focusing on barcelona, maybe carry the LP Barcelona city guide also, since as the title would lead you to believe, the focus of the book is on the entire province, with only about 1/4 to 1/5 of this volume devoted to the city of Barcelona.
Recommended.

Well laid out and strucutred.
Good level of detail. Easy to read.
I would generally agree with the author's opinions havving visited many of the places in the book.
Great that it covers Barcelona really well, but goes wider too.
