Format:Paperback
The new edition is fully updated and much better than older editions of the guide. The presentation is no-nonsense having lots of information with just a few colour plates. Opening times of attractions are well-detailed and every attempt is made to circumvent the necessarily list-like style with relevant issues in side boxes to break up the pages.

Format:Paperback
I purchased this book as I am heading off to some of the lesser known places in Spain outside of Barcelona. Valencia which is the third largest city in Spain has only a few pages dedicated to it so not much use. I was hoping for something a bit more comprehensive

Format:Kindle Edition
I found the guidebook useless on my Kindle 3 and am asking Amazon to delete it and give me my money back so that I can buy a paper version.
The e-book lacks an index. This means that if you want to look up the entry on Zaragoza, for example, you have to "search the book" - which then brings up every paragraph in the book which mentions the word Zaragoza. I counted 92 entries over 16 pages.
The maps are either tiny or are tiled and aren't really any use.
It had been my intention to use the Kindle rather than lug heavy books along - but with a paper book I can find what I want in seconds; with the e-book I engage in combat with the damned thing for several minutes.
The Kindle is great for reading novels and other narrative - but for a reference book like Lonely Planet, it doesn't really work yet.

Comprehensive guide, but poor Zaragoza section
Lonely Planet has seperate guides for Madrid and Barcelona, so it comes as no suprise that these sections are pretty comprehensive and detailed. Read more
