Lonely Planet Spain 12 (Travel Guide)

Very thorough travel guide. This has a lot of off beat information and tips.

This was the first Lonely Planet Guide I have bought. I kind of had been under the impression that they were the most popular ones to use. I was a bit disappointed in the one on Spain. It just did not cover things to my satisfaction. I think I like Rick Steve's guides better.

This travel book gives you a great overview of events and locations to visit throughout different times of the year. It has food and festival locations for every region in Spain. I live in Madrid and purchased the book to force myself to explore more of the country. Amazing investment. Great if you are looking to plan a trip in advance around a specific event or time of year!

This book was great even had hours during off season. Believe the book when it reads "prebuy". The only thing I would recommend is clearer points on the metro on the map. The recommendations in the book were helpful.

Always the best guides... cant wait to go!

This guide is extremely detailed. A must for travel planning. Includes price indexes to help budget your hotels and restaurants. Lots of colorful photos.

Nice weight, good size, ez to carry. Good descriptions of the various areas. my son is a big fan of Lonely Planet travel books and I agree...

This Lonely Planet book about Spain is filled with valuable, current information. We are using it to help plan our trip to Spain next year.

Whenever I travel abroad, I always buy a Lonely Planet, or Rough Guide to the place I'm visiting. This book almost ruined their reputation overnight. It is without down the WORST Lonely Planet guide I have ever read.As an example, where are the places a Brit goes, when they go to Spain? Madrid and Barcelona maybe, but Ibiza, and Majorca have to be up there, don't they? If you're going to Ibiza, or Majorca, however, don't rely on this book. All the islands are covered in 2 page. You read that right. One of the most popular tourist places in Spain gets maybe half a page.The sad thing is that I suspect that this is true of a lot of places. It all feels rather precised and rushed. If you go off the beaten track, even slightly, don't use this book. It'll be no use to you. The place you are probably won't be discussed.To make matters worse, there's no index. So if you're looking for where you are, and you haven't already found it in the Kindle book, you're going to be out of luck, because you won't be able to find if it's listened anywhere, because there's no index to help you.Now I know., you're thinking this book covers the whole country, it's going to be general. Bur let me tell you, there's general, and then there's so general and bland that things become meaningless. This book falls very much into the second category.

Helped me explore Malaga perfectly

Up to the publishers usual high standard, a useful update to the previous edition. The pull outmsp of Barcelona is a bonus.

Beautifully laid out book FULL of useful info for a trip anywhere in Spain. Covers places to go, directions, good food + drink, sights to see in each place + surrounds. Will be of huge use on our trips next year. 5*

Really useful and compact guide, perfect for planning a trip
