Thomas Cook Drive Around Guides are designed to provide you with a comprehensive but flexible reference source to guide you as you tour a country or region by car.

This review is from: Drive Around Catalonia & the Spanish Pyrenees, 3rd: Your guide to great drives. Top 25 Tours. (Drive Around - Thomas Cook) (Paperback)

My girlfriend and I are going to spend a bit more then a week in Catalonia and I love to drive. I had higher hopes with this book. I expected more of a list of destinations with cities inbetween where a person must stop and learn history,shop, explore, hike etc while providing the user with the most enjoyable/scenic routes.
Unfortunately, It did not live upto my expecations. On the plus side it has some nice pictures and the information is in simple format with large print. It has added to my growing understanding of Catalonia. I would say it is a decent book.
