Green Spain, as Northern Spain is often known, offers the visitor a great variety of landscapes: lush forests, deep-green valleys, soaring high mountain scenery, and exquisite beaches. For those looking for more than sun and sand, cultural highlights such as Santiago de Compostela, and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao are contrasted with the wonderful national parks that can be found in the Central and Eastern Pyrenees. But the best beaches and most charming villages are not neglected. Everything is depicted in the glorious visual style for which Eyewitness Travel Guides are known.

Nice Guidebook,
By
This review is from: DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Northern Spain (Paperback)
Easy to follow/use with bits of information about a lot of different places in Galicia (the place we visited--only section we used). Not the book for finding restaurants or places to stay. Thin enough to carry along. Nice pictures, good general information on top sites as well as on travel in Spain itself.

I can't come up with anything that would be missing. A lot of information, presented in an attractive way. Many illustrations, where to eat, where to stay etc. Everything is just in there.

This review is from: Northern Spain (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I am a fan of the Eyewitness Travel Guides, because they are very strong on the sight-seeing part of a trip - which are the most tourist-friendly towns to stay in, what are the important sights to see, and what is the history of the region. Not so strong on hotels or restaurants, but now with the internet I always book my hotels ahead of time anyway. Their guides are always fabulous on their photographs, and on diagrams of large buildings or sites, like the diagram of Santiago de Compestela. The Northern Spain guide is also much more comprehensive than just the northern Spain section in the big Eyewitness guidebook of Spain, so if you're spending all your time in Northern Spain, this is the book to get.
