This book is exactly what it says it is, a guide to charming inns and itineraries in Spain. My family and I followed many of the recommendations and were delighted with the places we visited and the wonderful converted palaces, castles, medieval monasteries and manor houses where we stayed. Karen Brown's information is accurate and trustworthy and we were never disappointed. We plan to use her guide to Italy on our trip there next year.

This book provides some good information on "off the beaten path" Inns and Bed and Breakfasts, and limited information on sites in and around major cities. The reader should be fore-warned that to conduct most of the included travel intineraries requires automobile transport. The book does reference the reader to a favored rental car company, but the details of renting a car and driving around Spain are left very sketchy (like which side of the road do they drive on?). I may try some of the sites included in the book on a third or fourth visit to Spain, but first I'd rather see the more famous tourism attractions, rather than see the "back country of Spain by car".
