5.0 out of 5 stars Best Guide to Spain I've read, 22 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Spain (9th Edition) (Paperback)
I found this easily the best Guide book to Spain out of the three I've used (Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, Eye Witness). While short on photos, it was the best for providing information about what their was to actually see in each region and city in a digestible form and proved the most useful in planning my trip to Spain. I found the hotel/hostel/restaraunt recommendations pretty useful in general.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but what about the Canaries?, 7 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Spain (9th Edition) (Paperback)
This is a good, thorough guide, full of helpful details on all aspects of travel in Spain. The information in the previous edition seems to have been conscientiously updated, and there are a number of new entries. The contexts section is particularly strong; the historical background is well written (and up to date), and the discography is excellent. The Rough Guide is also good on the less fashionable areas of Spain and covers places not mentioned in some other popular guides. The language sections are sensible, and should prove very useful to those with a limited knowledge of Spanish.

The Guide suffers, however, from one glaring and baffling omission - there is nothing at all on the Canary Islands. I hope that Rough Guides correct this omission next time around!

1.0 out of 5 stars Total waste of money, 11 Jun 2001
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Spain (9th Edition) (Paperback)
I recently went to the south of Spain and we brought this guide book. It was a total waste of money. We used the book to find a hotel in Granada, 'well located, up market hotel' only to find the hotel was at the other end of the old city and smelled like a boarding school. We ended up staying in the Alhambra hotel because we couldn't find anywhere else. Then when we arrived at Cordova we went to a recommended arabic restaurant for 'excellent inexpensive food' only to find the place had never served anything but tea - NO FOOD ever. After which we ceased to rely on the book.
