4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good, but not the Bible.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rick Steves' Spain & Portugal 1999 (Serial) (Paperback)
This book is great for what it tries to be: an easy and concise resource to guide you through a 3 week tour of Spain and Portugal. He confidently steers you to the major and minor (though equally fun and interesting) attractions with his star system, and suggests good budget hotels and eateries (show the book to a few hotels and get a 10% discount). His descriptions about prices and schedules are accurate. While we heartily recommend the book, it must be used to supplement another, more detailed guidebook (we used Lonely Planet). Other critiques: (1) his indifference towards the Gaudi architecture scene in Barcelona, which were among our favorite sights; (2) his fast and furious pace (needs more down time); and (3) meager explanations for certain sights. Nonetheless, Spain is great, go there!

The Traveler's bible for Spain!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rick Steves' Spain & Portugal 1999 (Serial) (Paperback)
My friends and I bought this book for our 10 day romp through southern Spain as a way to just familiarize ourselves with the area. Well, as Spain turned out to be more challenging than we expected, we'd sooner leave our passports behind than Rick's guidebook! His opinions on attractions were right on the money (when we didn't listen to him, we wished we did!!) and we saw things we never would have seen trusting another guidebook. If you're headed for Spain, forget the other books and just pack this one as an essential for your trip..Oh, and do as Rick says and go to Morocco. You'll never forget it!!

Thank's to this book we saw more in less time! If your'e driving across Spain and Portugal, Rick Steves will help you manuever big city traffic, parking, and accomadations. We stayed in old castles and a 19th century mansion overlooking the Moorish ruins!
