 Rating:  - Great for Orientation!I can honestly say that no other brand of travel guide will give you the feel of a country more than DK's Eyewitness series. Eyewitness Spain is a beautiful book that uses excellent pictures, maps, and illustrations more than words to bring across the FEEL of Spain. When planning a trip to Spain, I would reccomend this book along with the Rough Guide to Spain as an unbeatable duo. Whereas Rough Guide provides you with the nitty-gritty and exhaustive traveling advice, Eyewitness Spain will ensure that you will be anticipating your trip like none other. The most aesthetically pleasing of all the Spanish Travel Guides, Eyewitness Spain is a beautiful book to read, whether it's employed on the plane there or on the coffee ... Read More: Rating:  - pretty for your coffee table, not very useful for travelingI think the title of my review wraps it all up: the eyewitness guide to Spain is a work of graphic art. Its highlight is probably the great work on the maps, both small and large scale, which are of great help as you navigate around the citise and towns looking for the hot spots. As a tool for reaching all of the sights you want to see, I would say that the Eyewitness Guide is among the best, with its close-up street maps, neighborhood maps and public transportation guides. In addition to this, as another positive comment I would say that it is a great guide to take on a trip if you don't have much time and you need information presented in an easy-to-read, simple manner. The drawings and photos, and the way they are laid out, is very appealing.

There are probably an average of four pictures on each page. Pictures showing the wildlife--butterflies, birds, mammals; foods--cheeses, wines, seafood, fruits, local specialties; architecture; beautifully drawn maps showing exactly where all the notable sights are located. There is a 20 page history of Spain at the beginning of the book. At the back of the book are the hotel, restaurant, and survival guides. In between are the wonderful descriptions of all the notable sights ordered by geographic region. The one problem I see with the book is that after you look at it, it will be impossible to determine how to spend a limited amount of time among all the things to see. (Also the print is kind of small, 7 pt?. ... Read More: Rating: - Sets a new bar for travel guides.This is the best travel guide I have ever used for any country. The photos are spectacular and comprehensive beyond any expectation. Clearly tabbed by region and covering towns and villages covered sparsely if at all by other guides, this guide also allows the reader to learn basics of history, architecture, art, food, wine, and adventure with cross-references to the tutorials as you tour the country. An adventurous independent traveler should not be without this book! Armchair travelers will also find this the next best thing to being there. Viva Eyewitness! |
