Waste of money.,

This review is from: Pick Your Brains About Spain (Pick Your Brains - Cadogan) (Paperback)
Purchased this book to prep my kids before our summer trip to Spain. Sorry that I wasted the money. Very poorly written. The cartoonish drawings could have been accompanied by some substantive text. It has a whimisical style without much substance at all-- and huge gaps. In the must see places to visit no mention of the Mezquita at Cordoba. And the Alhambra is "the place where the Moors finally handed over power and the keys to the fortress to the Christian King". Sure, that's all it was.
