This review is from: The Rough Guide to Barcelona (Paperback)
I just got back from a two week trip to Barcelona and I foundthe Rough Guide very useful. I read a number of books on Barcelona before I went, including Robert Hughes' "Barcelona: the great enchantress" and Tobin's "Homage to Barcelona" (the title is a play on Orwell's "Homage to Catalonya"). I also had the TimeOut Guides, both to Barcelona and the TimeOut Guide to Barcelona Food and Drink. What I particularly appreciated about the Rough Guide was its accuracy and its completeness. For example, it includes accurate information about the metro stops to various places of interest. Each district in Barcelona has a brief guide to points of interest. The Rough Guide even provides accurate directions to Calonia Guell, where Gaudi's chapel, referred to as "The Crypt", is located. Since getting around and knowing when points of interest are open is a big part of visiting Barcelona, the Rough Guide was invaluable and I carried it everywhere. Along with the Rough Guide to Barcelona there is the Rough Guide Map for Barcelona which I also highly recommend. This map survided two weeks of constant use in very good shape.
