Essential Reading,
By simon fink (Manchester England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Andalucia (Paperback)
This book is essential reading for travellers to this part of Spain. The book's recommendations can be trusted and, whilst the information is thorough it isn't difficult to get to the more important parts quickly.We used it to visit Seville, Granada, Malaga and Antequera in September 2003 and found it brilliant. It's written in an unfussy way, in plain English and by people who know what is worthwhile and what isn't. Two important things to remember. Buy the book well before you travel. (We bought it in the airport after we had booked some of our accommodation and so wasted hours looking at the 'net for stuff much more clearly detailed in the book). The maps in the book are pretty sketchy and quite small. If you're travelling around, don't rely solely on these maps (and LP advises, in the book, which maps to buy). Overall, there isn't a better guide-book that I've found.

A review by an Andalusian,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Andalucia (Paperback)
I've browsed through this guide a few times in local bookstores in Seville and have found it very mediocre, not to say downright inaccurate. Many of the hotels and hostels it recommends no longer exist, there's little advice about safety and what little they say about safety is completely false. Seville, as all the other Andalusian cities, is a safe place to visit. There is petty theft like in all major cities in Europe, but that's all. There are no significant differences in that respect between, say, Seville and Paris, or London. So, please, don't pay too much attention to safety tips given by Lonely Planet guides. As a Sevillian, I can guarantee you the city is safe and that all you have to do is keep an eye on your belongings as you would in any major airport, railway station or city in Europe. Do come to Andalusia and enjoy our balmy climate and the warm welcome we are always willing to give foreigners. One big hug from Seville!

Not up to traditional Lonely Planet standards,
By Tulku talker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet Andalucia (Paperback)
Lonely Planet Andalucia is clearly inferior to Rough Guide Andalucia and below the standards I have come to expect from Lonely Planet. I found repeatedly that the author(s) appear morei interested in cutesy writing style than in incisive fieldwork and allowed their infatuation with their glib comments to gloss over their lack of good travel writing and description. The guides to eating are almost useless. For those who think otherwise, check the section Where to Eat in Seville. For those who make the mistake of buying the book, I suggest you don't even bother with the reviews of eating places. I decided to leave my Lonely Planet Andalucia in Seville and brought my Rough Guide home with me. The series editors need to clamp down on the writing style of the individual volumes and force them to write for the traveler,not for themselves. |
