Description
There are many reasons why travelers from all over the world are drawn to this increasingly popular colorful and unpredictable country--the Moorish treasures of Andalucia; the eccentric architecture of Gaudi; the castles and monasteries of Castille; or simply the lazy attractions of golden Mediterranean beaches. This new edition explores the distinctive culture of each region and has full listings of the best places to eat, drink, and stay for every budget. With personal insights and style for which Cadogan is renowned, it includes the very hottest things to see and do, from touring the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to finding Flamenco bars in Madrid that only the locals know about.
