Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Smart Comment: This guide is beautiful and very thorough, including information on even small towns and good subway maps for Barcelona and Madrid. It is also thorough in noting all the attractions each place has to offer, providing historical information as well as contact information, subway stop, operation hours, and free days! Most museums in Spain are closed at least one day a week, and we used this everywhere we went. It discusses major museums, churches, and mosques and points out important artists, carvings, or architechtural peculiarities in each. Another great feature is suggested walking routes in interesting neighborhoods in major cities - Spain has plenty of small streets, and we would've definitely missed some amazing places if not for this guide.
This isn't going to give you a lot of hotels or restaurants, but it does a sufficient job in translating and explaining some peculiar foods and merchandise.
