.Michelin the Green Guide Spain (Michelin Green Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Spain and Portugal
by: Paul Glassman

December 15, 2007
I used this book in 2005 to visit Madrid/Toledo/Segovia/Seville/Granada and Cordoba and then again in 2007 on a 10 day trip through Galicia. The book's main advantage is that towns/cities are in alphabetical order, so info is easy to find.

However, I find the text lacking in sparkle--a bit too dull.........It was my #3 choice for information. (I also had the DK guide and the Rough Guide)

The size and shape of this book make it easy to carry during the day, but most of the time, I carried the DK guide!!

I love Michelin guides and have used them for many travels. This review doesnt reflect the guide or its content but the fact that it is listed as "Multilingual." Parts of it are multilingual but the description in the listings are all in Spanish. If you are expecting the descriptions to be in English, this is not the guide for you.

This is an excellent and highly detailed driving map. My only negative comment is that it is so detailed, a magnifying glass may be needed to read certain roadway areas.

Anyone visiting Portugal as a tourist will need this guide, far and away the most detailed and informative of available guidebooks. You will need the Michelin red guide (which also covers Spain) for Hotels and Restaurants although a few are mentioned here for each city. Pictures are nice and the format is convenient. Green guides are much improved over the old ones that were too densely printed and hard to read.

City Travel Guides > Books > Spain and Portugal
from: Michelin Travel Publications

We spent the last two weeks traveling by car in Portugal from Lisbon to the top and northeast corner of the country; over 2500 km.

This map was vastly better than the smaller maps we had. It worked particularly well in giving us a clearer picture of what the routes would be like. We discovered no errors.

It also contains an index of cities and villages.

Not 5 stars for the following reasons: many small villages not on the map. (To an extent this is unavoidable given that there are so many small villages.) Also, there's no cross milage chart.

Even more valuable would have been a chart of estimated driving times between major cities. It was all too easy to get stuck behind (very) slow ... Read More:

OK for an overall view, but not detailed enough to drive in an unknown country. Buy local maps when you get there.

Michelin is always a great source of reliable and comprehensive information. I like plenty of details so I can make my choices as I go, review my plans, envision and compare options in my mind.
Many guides in the market just give the author's picks or are excessively opinionated (e.g. Rough Guides). It is rare to find deep and well-informed text, a good understanding of the local culture, off-the-beatten track sites. Andalucia can't be visited in 1-2 days, and is incredibly rich and complex; seeing a few great places just off the hotel gives too little, considering how much is there.

This guide is very good. The text is perhaps too wordy in some places, but recreates well the landscape, traditional architecture and cultural ... Read More:

.Michelin the Green Guide Spain: Balearic and Canary Islands
City Travel Guides > Books > Spain and Portugal
by: Michelin

I've only visited Madrid, so I'll forcus my comments on that part of the book. The explanations are short and to the point but manage to cover up all the major sight seeing. The restaurant recoomendations are especially good, and in a country where you don't speak the language, and they don't speak yours, it's nice to find a place that has authentic local food on one hand and an English menu on the other hand...
