review:
One of the most striking things about Spain is its great
regional diversity--landscape, food, art and even language
can differ
massively from one area of the country to the next. This
presents a real challenge to the guidebook writer who is
effectively
dealing with Espanas (Spains) rather than a single Espana.
The enormous army of Rough Guide devotees will not be surprised
to learn that the authors of the Rough Guide to Spain rise
competently to the challenge--now in its 10th edition this
Rough Guide is a clear, informative and reliable guidebook
to a magnificently varied country. Broken down into regions
(including the Balearics) with an unambiguous design and
more than 90 maps, the Rough Guide to Spain is extremely
user-friendly.
The limited number of full-colour photos are well used
to highlight the wealth and variety of architecture and landscape
in the
country. Tinted boxes give dates and details of the fiestas
to be found in each region as well as the price range
for accommodation and tips on language--all very useful when
you're in the planning
stages of a trip. On arrival, the detailed descriptions
of
all the major museums and monuments together with the
up-to-the-minute
listings of the Best places to eat and drink will ensure
you make the most of your visit. Whether you want to
stick to the
beaches or negotiate your way through the Sierra Nevada,
the Rough Guide will prove an indispensable addition
to your backpack.--Linda
