1.0 out of 5 stars This book was not helpful in preparing my driving tour., April 5, 1999

This review is from: Frommer's Spain's Best-Loved Driving Tours (Paperback)

We purchased this book in preparation for a road trip in Spain. The maps have no detail and serve no real purpose. The descriptions of locations and drives are scanty and the photos look about 25 years old. This time, the cover sold the book and the inside does not live up to it!

4.0 out of 5 stars I disagree, it was a helpful book!, February 26, 2000

I think this book was excellent in helping you plan for a driving trip through Spain. I used this book last year while driving along the east coast of Spain from Zaragoza. The photos are pretty acurate, and the information is still very true. As with all guide books, you have to use several to plan a wonderful trip, I would also recommend Lonely Planet: Spain and Rick Steves guide to Spain and Portugal.

This book has a bunch of useless detail combined with a lack of context. If you knew a ton about Spain and just wanted to go to little excursions, and didn't mind not knowing much about what was suggested, and didn't mind getting totally lost because the maps are close to useless, then buy this book immediately. Otherwise, it's a total waste of paper.
