4.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic Choice, July 21, 2004
By Z. D. Houghton (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Frommer's Spain 2004 (Paperback)
Although generally much more fond of the Rough Guide series, I found Frommer's Spain to be a pleasant surprise. This guidebook is a solid, well-written piece of work.

Perhaps the best feature of this guide lies in it's exactitude. Frommer's seems to go to great length to get their times right, and by telling exactly what you'll be paying for a typical meal somewhere, they have eliminated the guesswork that goes with reading "prices in the $10 to $30 range". Although Europe should be an adventure, nobody likes being caught short. Frommer's is all about making sure that doesn't happen.

Culturally competent, Frommer's seems to care very much about WHY places are important. Although I do not agree with all their inclusions and exclusions, this guidebook will, for the most part, steer you in the right direction to see the highlights of Seville, Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, and many other larger cities.

All in all, although a bit more spotty than it should be about Spain outside of Her larger cities, Frommer's is a good buy for a decent overview of Spain and a GREAT BUY if you aren't straying too far afield from the major cities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fantastic title in the Frommer's series, September 15, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frommer's Spain 2005 (Paperback)
Darwin Porter presents us with yet another excellent and usable title in the Frommer's series. We have found it to be an excellent vacation planning tool in our trip to Spain. With details ranging from where to stay for less money with the most value, to places to go eat/visit and things to avoid too, the book has something for everyone with Spain in their travel plans. We have used Frommer's guides for 5 different places so far, and not one of them has dissapointed us. This one was no exception. Highly recommended.
