Great as a supplement, especially if you like to walk cities
19 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
I just returned fm Barcelona and brought 5 guidebooks (Fodors See It Barcelona, Frommers 24 Great Walks in Barcelona, Frommers Barcelona day by day, and Time Out Barcelona, and MapEasy Barcelona) because none of them really filled the one-stop-shop I was looking for.
This book was one of the best. It did exactly what it set out to do, which was a perfect guide to allow us to explore each area on foot. Each walk was accurate, and usually encompassed one of the sights we wanted to see, so it combined two items into one. Additionally, the recommended eating spots were pretty good too. The mini maps for each walk worked well once you figure out where the map is relative to everything else.
Some minuses were that the book needed a larger map to index the smaller ones. We sometimes found it difficult to align the mini walks with the larger maps. Plus, I also thought they should have put the Metro marks on the mini maps for each walk.
The bottom line is that this book was our go-to once we figured out what we wanted to do that day, then we looked up the walk associated with that sight and off we went. If Frommers put the best of both of their books together, it would be perfect.
My recommendation is that if you have only 3 or fewer days in BCN, get Frommers Barcelona Day by Day. If more, then also get the Frommers 24 walks, which we used quite a bit, but only as a supplement.
Here is my summary reviews

This book was helpful as we planned our outings during our 10 days in Barcelona. The information was good and up to date. They cut the walks into smaller sections than we would have used for a walk, so we ended up putting 3 or 4 or more together for one "walk."

I recently ordered a guide to street walks in Barcelona. I am very happy with this transaction, as the book is full of useful information and it will be very useful.
