Spain's a taste sensation... Amazon.com Review From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there, chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globetrotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has the experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money. Here is an imagination-fueling guide on how to experience the best Spain has to offer. With lively features on Spanish history; coverage of Spanish Catalan, Basque, and Galician languages; more than 145 maps, including metro maps for Madrid and Barcelona; details on outdoor activities, including national parks; chapters on Madrid and Barcelona; plus hundreds of options for food and accommodations no matter what your budget, you'll be hard-pressed to limit your stay. --Kathryn True Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 40 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...8Next » Excellent reference   April 17, 2007 The Journeyman (Rhode Island) 9 out of 10 found this review helpful I am amused by some of the comments made knocking this Lonely Planet Spain publication. Comments such as those indicating that their hotel was not listed show ignorance of the way I think this book is designed and intended. Spain is a large, historic and diverse country and visitors are there for equally diverse reasons. If one can only take one reference publication to cover the country, this is the book to take. I travel to small towns as well as larger metropolitan areas and I am amazed at the coverage provided in the text. Do I stay at their recommended hotels all the time? No, but I always check them out on-line before leaving home and some of them are the best I can find. Do I end up in places that do not appear in other guides? All the time and this book has never let me down. I find the book to to be well written and researched as is the Lonely Planet Italy by the same author. (For a really lame publication I'll refer you to Lonely Planet Switzerland!) If you are a Tourist visiting only large cities and magnet tourist spots, then other publications may have added value for you, but if you are a Traveler seeking out of the way venues in addition to the normal sights, then this is an excellent reference! . . . ignore the other whining commentators. A very useful practical guide for an independent traveler   January 20, 1998 3 out of 3 found this review helpful This book is an indispensable manual for an independent traveler. I was using it just about every minute when first time in Spain, unfamiliar with the local ways, language, food, prices and means of getting around. Lonely Planet's Spain covers much of those things and more. And its information is mostly very up-to-date, too. Lonely Planet does it again   April 4, 2009 George Tennant 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Lonely Planet provides a great complement to my reliance on Rick Steves. Between the two I am able to map out wonderful trips, with LP providing the lower end of the cost scale way to go about traveling. Cleanly laid out, written in a way to convey information rather than overawe the reader, their guides are invaluable, timely, and fun. a worthwhile guide, good maps   February 21, 2003 Seth J. Frantzman (Jerusalem, Israel) 7 out of 10 found this review helpful This book I found superior to competitors. Its maps were better and more detailed, allowing me to get aorund Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and the little towns of ALgicerias and La Linia without any trouble. It is a wonderful book and also has a wide variety of places to stay unlike some guidebooks which only have the most expensive or the cheapest(and most savage) places to stay. I was very happy when I found myself alone in Madrid to have this book. Lonely Planet guides are indespensible in any country!!   October 15, 1999 Amazon Chick (Portland, OR United States) 12 out of 18 found this review helpful I buy an LP guide before every foriegn venture. I was in Spain last week and used my guide for hotel reservations and maps and restaurants and airline phone numbers in Spain. Then my "survival guide" dropped out of my bag on the streets of Madrid. I felt lost without it and there were many more times in that week that I missed it for reference. I highly recommend these guides. They are worth their weight in your back pack!
