Spain

Written by outspoken, authoritative experts, Frommer`s Spain shows travelers how to experience the country the way the locals do. This classic Frommers series includes exact prices; candid reviews of the best restaurants, attractions and hotels in every price range (from hostels to glamorous paradores); and dozens of detailed maps. We also 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.Each guide in the Countries, Regions & Cities series is structured in a similar format, depending on the destination, allowing readers to locate the information they need efficiently while travelling on the road. An introductory chapter helps
readers plan their trip, including information on when to go, money and costs, travel insurance, health and safety, sustainable tourism, staying connected, getting around, a special-interest holiday-planner and tips on finding accommodation. Individual sections are arranged geographically by city, region, or area and are subsequently divided into the principal neighbourhoods or regions of the city or country. There is extensive information on getting there and around, special events and festivals, what to see and do, shopping opportunities, accommodation (arranged by price), basic street overviews, where to eat, entertainment and nightlife. Extensive appendices include the ‘best of the rest’, (featuring destinations not included in the main part of the guide), local
tourism offices and useful telephone numbers and websites. There is also a dedicated section for international visitors (reflecting the American editorial style) with information on passports, visas, customs, insurance, money, safety, getting there and around, business hours, drinking laws, electricity, embassies and consulates, emergencies, holidays, legal aid, mail, taxes, telephones, etiquette etc.Stylistically, Frommer’s editorial style is strongly American in tone and focus, often offering insights and observations with an American audience in mind. However, each of the guides in the series is comprehensive in the information and coverage that is covered.
