by Ron Charles (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Book Description
No aspect of touring this premier European vacation spot has escaped author Ron Charles' notice, from the smallest inn to the largest castle, from quaint fishing hamlets to the romance and nightlife of Barcelona and Madrid. Charles points the way with easy-to-follow suggested itineraries, plus his picks for best places to stay throughout the country. Discover the sun and fun of the Costa del Sol, the unique offshore paradise of Majorca and the Islas Balearas, the medieval fastnesses of Seville and Granada, and the charged excitement pulsating along the streets of Spain's leading cities. Explore national parks and nature reserves all over the Iberian peninsula, hike the Spanish Pyrennes, raft the Rio Minho, thrill to the running of the bulls in Pamplona, or just sip an espresso in a sidewalk cafe overlooking an 800 year-old seaside town along the Bay of Biscay on the beautiful northern coast. It's all here, presented in the literate, no-nonsense style that readers of Open Road guides have come to respect and expect. Including a special excursion chapter to Gibralter, Spain Guide offers readers terrific bang for the buck. But it's not just destinations that Charles provides: he throws in his specially prepared guide-within-a-guide to Spanish cuisine and wines - some of the world's finest - and also a dictionary of useful phrases. Background on history, culture, and geography are featured as well. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
