It was our first trip to Northern Spain my husband and I went.

I tried to find the travel book that helped us to travel with ease

and pleasure.

This book helpled us during the travel a lot, we used it every day until we

found out that it was old print, it is hard to find restaurants or museums

were in restoration this year and we spent 2 hours to look for it until

we decided to get to the bar and had a fabulous wine and food instead.

The new edition is must be printed but the book was lovely and useful for us.

Well written, easy too use. My husband even use the map in San Sebastian

to find very complicated way to Museo Chillida-Leku as a start. Some

details are omited and not even mentioned which would help on the way

for example to help us to find the museum.

Gernika for me was to scared city, in the guide nothing was agains to

stop there: we could not find anythng to see there, even tourist office

did not help. But the rest was useful and nice. I do recomend this book

but late edition.

Well, I'm again here recommending a Footprint book. I took two weeks off and travelled from San Sebastian to Vigo, and from there to Portugal (where I used a Michelin for a three day stay). If you have more than a week, Footprint is the way to go (and read the guide BEFORE travel, like always). Is a great thing that they decided to write this sector guides (about only a part of a country) because it allows you to take in some areas without feeling that you paid for something that you will not use. Also, it represents better the way I do tourism. The cheap hotel (pensions) reccommendations where incredibly accurate (and I saved a lot of euros without losing quality). One line even mentioned a dog pertaining to a hostel owner, and since the dog passed away last year the owner wanted to see the guide to remember him and was happy to see that his dog will always be in a printed page! (that was in Oviedo). Continue with the good job people.
