Spain (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)

Eyewitness Spain is a beautiful book that uses excellent pictures, maps, and illustrations more than words to bring across the FEEL of Spain.

When planning a trip to Spain, I would recommend this book along with the Rough Guide to Spain as an unbeatable duo. Whereas Rough Guide provides you with the nitty-gritty and exhaustive traveling advice, Eyewitness Spain will ensure that you will be anticipating your trip like none other.

The most aesthetically pleasing of all the Spanish Travel Guides, Eyewitness Spain is a beautiful book to read, whether it’s employed on the plane there or on the coffee table at home.

This is the best travel guide I have ever used for any country. Clearly tabbed by region and covering towns and villages covered sparsely if at all by other guides, this guide also allows the reader to learn basics of history, architecture, art, food, wine, and adventure with cross-references to the tutorials as you tour the country.

An adventurous independent traveler should not be without this book! Viva Eyewitness!

I bought books from several sources. I received an Eyewitness Travel Guide for Florence as a gift and I have been hooked since. Recently I began planning a vacation to Spain. The book covers all regions of Spain, each with a dedicated chapter. The book contains photos of many attractions and floor plans or cutaway views of key architectural sights. The back of the book has a hotel and restaurant guide. You will need to buy a map. Eyewitness Guides are beautiful, gorgeously illustrated books on glossy paper that are perfect for planning a trip but not so good for carrying along with you. This guide gives you a general view of the sights to see, with many photos and maps.

I loved this guide, but no one source is going to have it all for the independent traveler–and in any guide, info on hotels and restaurants is usually out-of-date before it’s printed.
