if for no other reason, get this book for the tapas advice and prada advice. i don't think the prada was in mona winks, it's here and it's good advice. I think my husband's enjoyment of museums has greatly increased since we started using rick steve's guides, the descriptions of the works really makes it interesting or at least bearable for those who aren't usually interested in going to musuems. oh --warning, one of the churros places is kinda hard to find, but well worth it (the one near the nightclub/disco). and he's not kidding when he says the Spanish eat late. plan on it. hotel advice was absolutely on the money.

Rick Steves always presents interesting and useful travel information, and this book is no exception. I was glad to see Morocco included (could have used a little more info). However, I hope the book will be expanded in future to include information on the north of Spain, including Bilbao (the Guggenheim!!!!!) and Santiago de Compostela, an ancient pilgrimage site, at least. Also would like to see info on less well traveled places, like Valladolid, Zaragoza, Burgos, etc. and other smaller towns like Teruel. Go to Spain again!!!!!!!
