3.0 out of 5 stars Lost in Granada!, 2 Nov 2004
By A Customer
I bought this book for a recent visit to Granada and to be honest I was a bit disappointed. A word of warning - do not rely on the maps in this book to find your way around. Granada is a mass of cobbled one-way streets and this book's maps were no help - after 3hrs we abandoned the car and found our way on foot after buying a cheap street-map. While the book does give detail of some good tapas bars it omitted to say that the vegetarian restaurant and tapas bar it recommends close at 4.00pm at this time of year. While I understand Andalucia is a big place to try to condense into a travel guide, I think that in this case the writers perhaps made it too concise!

2.0 out of 5 stars A better paperweight than a guidebook, 15 Nov 2008
Once in a while, you encounter a guide book so well written that you are inspired to rely on others in the series for your next holiday and know that the author has a talent for travel. This is not one of those books!

Whilst Andalucia is a large and culturally rich place, the size of this book speaks more about the author's view of his own expertise than it does of the editor's ability to divide the wheat from the chaff.

And there's an awful lot of chaff.

Whether it's an account of a site that is too long to digest without falling asleep at the end of a long day's sightseeing or his use of adjectives and adverbs that provoke the question 'why?' with no ready answer, you will very quickly tire of a style that tries to be witty and quirky but just ends up alienating you. Worst of all, this is not a book that you want to help you to decide between competing demands on your time; I checked out the commentary on Medina Azahara, just outside Cordoba, and as a result of the negative tone it struck, didn't bother. When I saw a tv documentary which included a visit to this site, I was furious to have missed something clearly worthwhile.

Fortunately, we were not at the mercy of this mediocre book but also brought along the Eyewitness Travel Guide (great for kids and the pictures but not much more); the Timeout guide (the listings and feature articles are the best thing) and the Rough Guide which we found struck the right balance between information and opinion.

Mr Symington may well live and breathe the wonderful Andalucia, but his writing betrays that he is no traveller and certainly no travel writer. However, he has a great future producing paperweights and draft excluders should he realise he needs a career change.
