The new edition is easy to use with very clear maps and it does cover places way off the beaten track as well as those familiar to us all. If you need more detail for a particular area then lonely planet do publish more in depth area books such as 'Catalonia and the Costa Brava' for example.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

First, it needs seriously updating. Especially for prices. One hostal owner laughed when he saw I had this book and advised me that the spot with all the bars and nightlife had been demolished two years ago! This was in Zaragoza. He reckoned on Let's Go being much better for Spain. Also, everyone seems to have the Lonely Planet, which means everything is going round the sometimes limited (e.g. Granada) supply of the same hostals. Also, some of the maps are dodgy, although to be fair mapping places like Toledo must be a bit of a nightmare and I didn't see any other good maps from the tourist board either. No other probs to report.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I visited Spain in August, 2003 -the spanish holyday-month where every little hostel seems to be fully booked I experienced that the book mainly is concerned around big tourist attractions and cities. When travelling around to small villages there is basically no information, obvioulsy as a result of what has interested the authors. But more seriously, there is a great lack of info about places to stay incl. telephone numbers which is a big problem as the tourist offices most of the time seems to be closed at this time of the year.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
