The information in this reference book is very good. The text and photos are informative. The one missing link is a map or series of maps that would help the reader orient him/herself.

I recommend it for adventurous travellers.

This is an exceptionally well presented resource on Spain's monastic lodging opportunities. I have been studying and trying to stay in monasteries in Spain for at least 10 years. This is the first resource that I believe will really help me find these preferred accommodations in Spain. I haven't used the book yet but I shall this summer. I am very optimistic.

In addition the travel information about the area around the monastery is unusually good. It often gives more particular and much more interesting information than other regular guidebooks. I know several of the areas discussed well and I find that the information given is much of what I want to know. It has a different perspective that will enrich any journey.

During our previous visits to Spain, we've stayed in paradores, hotels and fincas. This book opened our eyes to new possibilities. Receiving an autographed copy from the author was a nice touch. Even though the book is not hot-off-the-press, it is full of useful information that can be updated very easily with a little research. I highly recommend this book and author.
