There was not much more to offer after buying the Eyewitness guide to Spain, in fact they more or less just took the chunk about Catalunya and put a cover on it and said "that will be X amount please". This guide is fantastic for maps and pictorial guides, but the information about on trains, restaurants, parks, opening times etc... needs a lot more further exploration as I found much to my frustration, I would recommend this book (if you havn't got the guide to Spain), for its pictorial info, but I would also buy the 'Rough Guide to Barcelona' (which saved my holiday!) for information purposes.

I have previously found the DK eyewitness range of books to be most the most detailed city guides on the market. However the Barcelona edition proved to be a big disapointment. To start with I arrived in the city at the main railway station only to find it wasn't even in the map section. On further visiting attractions within the city there was minimal or even omitted detail on some of the leading tourist destinations. During my visit I eventually dispensed with the book and relied more on tourist information handouts.
