One of the worst quide I've ever used. I got another from my friend in Barcelona because this one was very poor and not easy to read and find useful informations. Only size is ok. I don't recommend this book.
Although my Barcelona trip was pretty intense, a lot of my short trips are, I want to do everything and see everything crammed into a very limited amount of time. This guide was fantastic, I was easily able to choose the various subway stations to alight and disembark for all the things I wanted to see. I got the taste of Gaudi with the Basilica, Park Guell and various other places, I was able to choose decent places to eat at, navigated easily around the city and had a really great trip with no regrets. All whilst avoiding tourist pitfalls. I'm the cafe eating adventurer, I want the best food without the fluff but mainly I am out to explore the places I visit. Sore feet are a small price to pay for my packed sightseeing adventures. Just be aware that this is the capital of pickpocketing, you will be fine when sitting you keep hold of your camera straps and although here it is a little uncool, a bum bag maybe a necessity in Barcelona. Don't let this put you off, it is a great city and well worth a visit. I also recommend staying just outside of the city in one of the coast resorts if you also desire that romantic serene getaway a little way out of the calamity of the big city. Of course, if it is the night life you are after you would want to stay close to the heart of it. Enjoy your holiday and Thank you for reading my review!Read full review
