Customer Reviews

Backpacking Son

Our son last summer toured Europe. He took 3 tour books along on his backpacking vacation. He discarded 2 of the other tour books and only kept-- Let's Go tour books. This summer he will be going to England and Spain and the only book he wanted was this tour book. By the way he is 32 years old and an engineer and wishes to try other countries but again only with Let's Go. REMEMBER Make sure the book is the year that you go. Enjoy!

Been to Spain Twice...

...and I used this guide both times. Incredible amounts of information for the budget traveler. I especially appreciate how accurate everything is. The food recommends are great, too. Basically, of the guides I have used before, this is the best for somebody on a budget. Also, this guide seems the best for anybody traveling alone.

Solid choice to cover lots of ground and travel on a budget

If you are planning on being in only a couple cities you are most likely better off buying a travel guide that specializes in just those cities. We were heading for a grand tour and covering a lot of ground and spending only a few days in each city. We found the book to be a terrific guide as it took care of local maps for most cities and very detailed maps including subway guides for major cities. Along with that it gave a good description of what to see including a brief history lesson. If you don't need to know absolutely everything about a place but just enough to get you there and know where a few value places to eat, sleep and party are at then you have found your book.

The BEST guide to Spain

I used this book on my trip to Spain (Galicia and Asturias, Madrid) last summer, and it was an invaluable resource.The Let's Go guide for Spain was incredible--it pointed out sites and places that weren't the usual tourist traps. I was very impressed with the accommodations listings as well--every hotel and hostel recommended by the book was excellent, clean and a great value. Listings were accurate, with correct, up-to-date contact information.All in all, I strongly recommend buying this book--you won't regret it for your trip.

Details Details

I really liked this book for detailed information, such as good hostels, cheap places to eat, etc. This book has a lot of text and minimal pictures. I also had the eyewitness guide to spain, which was a good one to have along with this one. It had more pictures, and enabled you to pick and choose some of the places to go. Lets go spain, however, was the real practical one. It was out of date at times, especially in Barcelona so make sure that you check out times and places locally when you get there.
