Excellent, accurate entries and comprehensive coverage with one exception. If you are thinking of visiting the museum at Salvador Dali's house at Port Lligat (Cadaqués)then in busy periods you have to make a reservation and this can be up to three or four days ahead. There is no mention of this in the guide and yet it has been the case there for many years. Otherwise an excellent publication.

Whatever other guides are out there for Spain or any other country, I still feel the need to have a Michelin Green Guide along for more comprehensive background information on routes/itineraries, architecture, customs, language and history. Although, the English version of the Green Guide to Spain has been slimmed down a bit over the years, it still supplies a lot of information about small towns, national parks and other places of interest that most other guides don't think to include. It's good also for detailed historical and cultural information. Another signature feature that it still provides and that you can't get elsewhere is the "at-a-glance" map reference (inside the back cover) that ranks the principal sights of Spain by level of interest. You can argue the rankings, but it is generally a very reliable tool in planning in-country travel.
Michelin does not include a lot of photo illustration, but it's great on city maps for smaller, regional centers. This has been very helpful to us over the years as there aren't a lot of other sources for this kind of information.
Overall, if you're going to drive in Spain (or elsewhere), the Michelin Green Guide is a good companion to take along. It's valuable even if your travel is done by train or bus. And don't forget the Michelin Red Guide which is still the best for hotels and restaurants.

I was relying on this guide for my trip to north eastern Spain but this edition has undergone a re-design compared to earlier Michelin guides. Older ones were simply alphabetical with some driving tours thrown in. Michelin have always concentrated too much on religious sites. However, this book is just a mess. It is broken down by region and is then alphabetical within the region but for Catalunya I found that very little was covered in the alphabetical section. Very few sites were actually listed. Some were on the "driving tours" but usually with little or no description. A site is often listed with no description, such as "Museu del Ganivet i Eines de Tall". I bought the English version of the guide and that doesn't help one bit. There isn't the map at the beginning showing all the sites of interest - just some of the main ones. The same goes for each section map.
So, beware. If you are used to the old, alphabetical Michelin guides (I am, and have many of them) then you could well find this one frustrating and incomplete. I assume the same will apply to all Michelin guides from now on.
