Open Roads Best Of Spain: Your Passport to the Perfect Trip!

Product Review

Open Road’s Best of Spain gives readers a small number of great choices and itineraries for one-day, weekend, one-week and two-week trips. Readers are not weighed down with tons of useless information – we cut to the chase and give readers short descriptions of the best Spain has to offer. Just grab this book and get ready to explore. Before you know it, you’ll be drinking vino tinto, eating tapas, and staying up to all hours of the night—just like real Spaniards!

Highlights include fun Barcelona and the Mediterranean coast; Madrid and its world-famous Prado Museum and medieval center; lively Seville with its winding streets, massive cathedral and Moorish palaces of the Alcazar; traditional hilltop villages with whitewashed buildings; great beaches and a party atmosphere on Spain’s southern coast; and Northern Spain’s charming seaside villages and fabulous sights, like Santiago de Compostela and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

This review is from: Open Road's Best Of Spain: Your Passport to the Perfect Trip! (Paperback)

I'm planning a summer trip to Spain and bought this book along with several others. I like the approach of this guide. Since we'll only have a short time in several cities, the weekend and day plans are really helpful in planning a visit. The book is full of color photos and the city maps are very good (more detailed than Fodors or Frommers and clearer than the hand-drawn maps in the Rick Steves book). Overall, a very helpful overview of Spain. My only complaint is that the Balearic Islands aren't included.
