Let's Go 2009 Spain & Portugal with Morocco (Let's Go: Spain, Portugal & Morocco)

I purchased this book because I was going to Spain, Portugal and Morocco and thought I'd save space and weight by getting this book instead of 2 or 3 others. I spent 6 weeks combined in these countries and was very dissapointed in the coverage of this book.
Before I continue with this review I should tell you about myself. I am 26 and my travel style is to take longer trips, stay in cheap hotels and travel slowly. My travel companion had "Lonely Planet Spain" and "Lonely Planet Morocco," which for us were much better books.

Things I didn't like about the book:
1. After several days it became apparent that the maps in "Let's go" are harder to follow. For example, in Lonely Planet all hotels, restuarants and sights are described and the corresponding number-letter coordinates to the map are given so finding them on the map is a breeze.

I found Let's Go: Spain & Portugal with coverage of Morocco to be indispensable during my recent trip to Spain. Seville in particular offers tourist traps around every corner - and Let's Go helped me navigate to find THE authentic flamenco bar in a town full of overpriced "authentic flamenco." Let's Go S&P helped me find hostels and nightlife where I met other students - both locals and travelers. The guide is light and pack-able, full of excellent maps, and the listings are honest with a touch of sarcasm. I cannot recommend Let's Go highly enough to young backpackers or those studying abroad in Spain.

Very disappointing. Let's go team has been sitting on their laurels. They don't even bother to check if the information they publish is still valid year after year. I was in Seville in 2008 and the book mentions a campsite near the airport, well according to the gypsies who took over the site, the campsite has been closed for more than three years. How come the information hasn't been revised. Let's go team is asleep at the switch. There are many many errors and inaccuracies, don't buy !!!
