We use seasoned, locally-based journalists like Peter Barron (formerly of the BBC), along with writers who live part-time in Spain, like Patricia Harris, David Lyon and Murray Stewart. The four of them spent months checking out all of Spain's best hotels, attractions, shops, wineries, and restaurants \u003ci\u003ein person\u003c\/i\u003e, so they could offer authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the venues that suit your tastes and budget. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn short, use this book and you'll be eating in the places most tourists don't know about, visiting top attractions at times when the crowds are at their thinnest, and patronizing the bars and clubs Spaniards hold dear. Whether you're partying the night away in the Balearic Islands, exploring architecture and history in Barcelona or Bilbao, or walking the Camino de Santiago, this book will make your vacation better. We include advice the tourist board wouldn't approve of: which sites to skip, how to avoid the crowds, and how to stretch your travel budget further, whether you're on a lavish honeymoon or backpacking it.Inside the guide: \u003cul\u003eFull-color photos and helpful maps, including a detachable foldout mapDetailed itineraries for planning your trip to suit your schedule and interests (and help you avoid lines and crowds)Candid reviews of the best restaurants, historic sights, museums, tours, shops, and experiences―and no-punches-pulled info on the ones not worth your time and moneyAccurate, up-to-date info on transportation, useful websites, telephone numbers, and moreCompelling cultural information so that you'll better understand the history, cuisine, and traditions of SpainBudget-planning help with the lowdown on prices and ways to save money, whether you're traveling on a shoestring or in the lap of luxury\u003c\/ul\u003eAbout Frommer's: There's a reason Frommer's has been the most trusted name in travel for more than 65 years. Arthur Frommer created the best-selling guide series in 1957 to help American servicemen fulfill their dreams of travel in Europe, and since then, we have published thousands of titles, become a household name, and helped millions upon millions of people realize their own dreams of seeing our planet.
