5.0 out of 5 stars History, culture and a walk through the cities and pueblos., 9 Mar 2001
By A Customer
In short. It's is the best one volume book on Andalucia I've read. It's introduction to the detail history all the way back to Tartessus and up to date is thorough and easy to go to. The chapters about Flamenco and the gypsies sure puts things in another perspective, but without Michael Jacobs getting romantic or blueeyed. The chapter about the ferias and fiestas is a must if you ever are considering trying some of these out. The last part of the book is called GAZETTEER and takes you trhough a lot of the principal cities and pueblos of Andalucia some of them spiced up with local touches and legends. I'm currently studuying the history of Andalucia for a book project, and definitely this book is going to mentioned a a source. My complaints are minor and mainly on the wrongspelling of some of the moorish kings as well as a few of the spanish dittos. MAX SCORE from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading, 7 Aug 2005
By Alison Ramage "tamarindos402" (Barcelona) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are really interested in Andalucia, not just to lie on the beaches or take photos of the Alhambra then this book is an absolute must. In the great tradition of travel writing, it is so much more than just a guide book. Jacobs writes with real clarity and passion. If you are planning a trip to Andalucia the investment of a few pounds in this book, will definitely be worth it. If you are not planning a trip, but have an interest in the land of Carmen,Flamenco, bullfighting etc.then it is a must! First class book.
