5.0 out of 5 stars
Usual excellent standard,
By saliero (NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Seville and Andalusia (Paperback)
As with all Eyewitness Guides, this is beautifully illustrated and informative. I have to admit I read it AFTER I visited Andalusia, but wish it had been on the market when I did go. It is an excellent armchair travel book. It has certainly whetted my appetite to go back. Retrospective reading always reveals gems you wish you had discovered at the time. One real bonus of Eyewitness guides is that they have PROPER maps, with street indexes integrated into them, unlike some guides which rely on sketch maps, and where the scale can be a bit hit and miss. Another advantage is they don;t attempt to list a "Top Ten" for each place, rather they provide comprehensive coverage, and divide their coverage by locale.

A MUST-HAVE for the serious traveler,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Seville and Andalusia (Paperback)
Buy this book. Read it cover to cover. And do it before you leave...This book is the perfect orientation to Spain and what riches it has to offer. By using this book as my guide, I saw more of Andalucia than I could have ever hoped for. The photographs in the book inspired many of my own (and more!). The city layouts are fantastic for anyone who has no sense of direction. Furthermore, the book gave me a tantilizing taste of the thrills to come when I would be in Spain...

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Seville and Andalusia (Paperback)
As always, Eyewitness has the best maps. The coverage of Seville makes it the best guide for that city, period. The coverage of the outlying major areas, such as Granada and Cordoba, should be supplemented with the Cadogan book on Seville, Granada, Cordoba, but the Eyewitness has the best information on eating, shopping, getting around, hotels, and culture survival for Seville. If you are staying in Seville, take this book with you into the streets when you go.
