Muy completaDe gran ayuda para conocer la cultura española desde siglos atrás。 Es una guía muy completa que incluye todo los aspectos necesarios para interpretar la historia con conocimientos básicos y planear rutas de viaje con mayor certeza。

It is impossible to give any shrimps to this fine travel book。 It is just a great travel book for anyone looking to visit this beautiful and diverse country。

you are kidding me！ change the title to spanish mainland only。 missing ALL the spanish islands which is rather a BIG omission。。。mallorca， menorca， ibiza， ALL the canary isles （which are a hugely popular winter destination） and of course also excluding ceuta & melilla。 guess the lonely planet feel we should dig into our pockets and buy 2 seperate island guides too。 not even approaching the quality of "old" lonely planets。 but who expects that these days？ you are kidding me！ change the title to spanish mainland only。 missing ALL the spanish islands which is rather a BIG omission。。。mallorca， menorca， ibiza， ALL the canary isles （which are a hugely popular winter destination） and of course also excluding ceuta & melilla。 guess the lonely planet feel we should dig into our pockets and buy 2 seperate island guides too。 not even approaching the quality of "old" lonely planets。 but who expects that these days？ 。。。more

An informative travel book witha wealth of information for would be vistors to Spain。 I enjoyed the historical information about the sites。 I was not captivated by the description of Madrid though。 Described as a city where everyone stays up very late - the city does not sleep。 Not for me！

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 rig 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。 。。。more

I love travelling， and Lonely Planet is always my go-to travel guides when I go abroad。 Their guide to Hungary was essential to my fiancee's and my trip to Budapest last December， and their Spain guide was the real MVP of our road trip around Spain that we came back from a couple weeks ago！Sure， we did tons and tons of research on the internet leading up to this trip， but there's really no substitute for a good guidebook。 Because this was a road trip， we had the freedom to go off the beaten trac I love travelling， and Lonely Planet is always my go-to travel guides when I go abroad。 Their guide to Hungary was essential to my fiancee's and my trip to Budapest last December， and their Spain guide was the real MVP of our road trip around Spain that we came back from a couple weeks ago！Sure， we did tons and tons of research on the internet leading up to this trip， but there's really no substitute for a good guidebook。 Because this was a road trip， we had the freedom to go off the beaten track a bit and visit a few places between our big destinations。 Lemme tell you， THAT is where this book REALLY helped us out in a huge way。 Without Lonely Planet， we wouldn't have known Morella even existed， much less driven on the narrow mountain roads that overlook beautiful landscapes on our way to have lunch in a small mountain city still surrounded by a medieval wall。 Lonely Planet also told us about Cabo de Gata-Nihar， a national park in Andalusia with beautiful beaches and tall cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea。 Of course， the food recommendations were all excellent， the advice， incredibly helpful， and the shopping recommendations， interesting and unique。This was a special trip， regardless （my girl and I got engaged in Granada！） but having this travel guide made everything so much smoother！ 。。。more

Madrid and Granada - first time visit for MTHighlights - Prado， Madrid; Alhambra， Granada。

Solid travel book delivered yet again by Lonely Planet。 I found it very helpful in planning my trip to Northern Spain。 I supplemented the book with some other sources， but it provided a good foundation。However， I find the Kindle version really frustrating。 Even though I was bookmarking pages and trying to refer back to them， I still like the hard copy better。

Pat ，

Great， practical information to help me plan my trip。 Will be bringing it with me！

Suuuuuuper thorough。 I purchased this guide while living in Asturias and basically ripped it to shreds in rain and shine （Madrid downpour was not kind to the pages）。 There's something for every travel taste in here， and it covers every corner of Spain。 I would love to see it go into more detail about the lesser known places （such as my beloved Asturias， or the corners of Galicia）， but this is a great general travel book。 If you want more in depth about regions or activities， I would suggest hiki Suuuuuuper thorough。 I purchased this guide while living in Asturias and basically ripped it to shreds in rain and shine （Madrid downpour was not kind to the pages）。 There's something for every travel taste in here， and it covers every corner of Spain。 I would love to see it go into more detail about the lesser known places （such as my beloved Asturias， or the corners of Galicia）， but this is a great general travel book。 If you want more in depth about regions or activities， I would suggest hiking/landscape books， or region specific books。 。。。more

Gives loads of ideas about what to do， where to go， etc。 I will continue to use this book as I travel around Spain。

Miquixote ，

I have lived and traveled in Spain extensively and I feel I am qualified enough to say that 。。。

Alex ，

Used when I was in Spain， remembering it being a good travel guide。

Lonely Planet Spain （Spain， 3rd ed） by Damien Simonis （2001）

Stephanie ，

a little dry， but useful。

Mark ，

Lonely Planet Books are indispensable， I just wish they were better at referencing the map in the text， and the page ref from the map key。

Sarah ，

this book was essentially useless while we were in spain。

Zoë ，

This was my bible while I lived in Spain for 8 months。 It is helpful and informative。
