This review is from: The Best of Costa del Sol (Paperback)

This book is an excellent companion to "Top 10 Andalucia and Costa Del Sol". I have actually used this book in restaurants to order food and every time I got what I wanted and people appreciated my effort. This book will give you short overview of each city of Andalucia worth seeing. But if you want more history I suggest you join a group tour for a day. Most tour guides speak English, German, French and Italian. Always negotiate taxi rides - prices are excruciatingly high. I have used public transportation and found it reliable, clean and fun. Great color pictures in this little book. Worth taking on the trip!
