I brought only this book (previous edition) when visiting Spain two years ago, and greatly regretted my choice. The problem is that the book covers the "big places", but has very little in the way of smaller towns, or less visited areas. So, you can go to Barcelona, but find almost nothing on the large number of small villages and towns near there.Spend a few dollars more and get a "full" tourbook and use this as a back-up if you like his style, but don't use it alone.
