Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the most striking things about Spain is its great regional diversity--landscape, food, art and even language can differ massively from one area of the country to the next. This presents a real challenge to the guidebook writer who is effectively dealing with Espanas (Spains) rather than a single Espana. The enormous army of Rough Guide devotees will not be surprised to learn that the authors of the Rough Guide to Spain rise competently to the challenge--now in its 10th edition this Rough Guide is a clear, informative and reliable guidebook to a magnificently varied country. Broken down into regions (including the Balearics) with an unambiguous design and more than 90 maps, the Rough Guide to Spain is extremely user-friendly. The limited number of full-colour photos are well used to highlight the wealth and variety of architecture and landscape in the country. Tinted boxes give dates and details of the fiestas to be found in each region as well as the price range for accommodation and tips on language--all very useful when you're in the planning stages of a trip. On arrival, the detailed descriptions of all the major museums and monuments together with the up-to-the-minute listings of the best places to eat and drink will ensure you make the most of your visit. Whether you want to stick to the beaches or negotiate your way through the Sierra Nevada, the Rough Guide will prove an indispensable addition to your backpack.--Linda Sinclair

5.0 out of 5 stars Mucho Bueno!, 5 Jul 2002
By A Customer
For first time or budget travellers to Spain, this is the guide for you. The layout takes a while to get into, sticky labels were useful, but the contents are very good. The history and cultural sections are impressive and a great help in understanding all the places you are likely to visit. Every town and city mentioned has a list of places to eat and stay, ranging from budget to 5 star, with easy to use maps showing where they all are.
The only down side is that there do not appear to be many low budget places to stay, but in each town there are hostals everywhere so this is not a great problem.
Overall a very well written and informative guide, I will be buying more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good informative guide- could be organised better, 21 Feb 2002
since the book is a guide and usually only parts of it are actually read the layout and indexing could have been organised better. It is useful to me to to find an area quickly and to be able to find accommodation and good restaurants quickly. The information needs to be sectioned and highlighted in a different way. Contents, were informative and useful in particular related to Barcelona.
