Summary: Can't go wrong, regularly updated 2008-08-21
Comment: The Rough Guides rarely disappoint. They are thorough and interesting. My only complaint is that Murcia, as usual in guidebooks like this, just doesn't get the treatment it deserves. I always buy the most recent edition, but suggest you can probably skip an edition now and then!

Summary: Good, but largely unchanged from previous edition. 2008-08-10
Comment: If you don't have a guide book on Spain yet, this is a good one. If you have a previous edition of rough guide, though, it seems like not much has changed to warrant a new purchase.

Summary: Lots of great detail 2008-07-31
Comment: Have been using this book, along with Rick Steve's Spain book, to plan a trip to Spain. Rough Guide includes an amazing amount of information about many, many places in Spain. Rough Guide covers many more places than Steve's book, although they complement each other. Rough Guide gives a great feel for the breadth of places to explore.

Summary: Best guide for outside the major cities 2008-05-19
Comment: My husband and I just got back from a 2-week trip to Spain where we covered about 1000 miles by car. This was the guide that we depended on when we traveled through the Pyrenees, Rioja and Basque regions. The other guidebooks have maybe one or two sentences on the picturesque little medieval towns that we passed through, where this one had recommendations for meals and places to stay off the beaten path. I was so glad to have this book or we would have missed out on many great experiences, including our stays at some small "casas rurales" (like bed and breakfasts) where we got to really speak to the locals and take in the day to day life in Spain. It's a big book to drag around, so I ended up tearing out the pages with the maps we would need each day and carried those around with me instead of the whole book. The best travel book purchase that I have ever made!

Summary: Almost Perfect 2008-02-22
Comment: Rough Guides never let me down. This one from Spain is very detailed, has many accomodation reviews, good for sightseeing scheduling, and alternative sites for tourism. The only thing I miss is a way to help me to organize trips between the different cities (from "somewhere" to "other where" is best by plane or by train, and so on).
