The Lonely Planet for Spain is not as good for bagpackers as other Lonely Planets. But it is still better than other books.

what happen to lonely planet?
this is definetly not any longer a backpackers guide and i would say its useless. only 2 - 3 accomodation descriptions per town with middle ranged or high prices. no hostels with cheap prices or cheap restaurants recommendations (sleeping and eating is now one chapter and not longer seperated - of course informations are lost).
i bought this book without having a look in it because i expect a normal lonely planet (and i couldn't find a english version in spain, so i must order without seeing).
it seems that LP change the target group because it becomes quite popular to travel with this guide and the new audience have other preferences.
if i would be in my home country i would send it back and take one of the old ones instead or search for a new editor for travel guides. i'am very unsatisfied.

A step backwards for Lonely Planet
1. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
I used to rely heavily on Lonely Planet and Brandt travel guides. They represented travel destinations written about by folks who had been there not too long ago, and who traveled on a budget similar to your own. The guides weren't things of beauty, but they had good information. The new Lonely Planet books look a whole lot better and have lots of color images, but this Spain guide has failings that would have been unacceptable in the old guides. The maps, text, and index do not match up completely, names are differently spelled and organized in the three different locations making it that much harder to find what you're looking for. The information looks good, but the organization is decidedly lacking. Maybe if you read it all ahead of time, scan and print the bits you're interested in, and cross-check everything online it would work, but if you plan to travel with this heavy tome in hand, you'll find it hard to locate the info you need in real-time.

Great for detail, but not really for the casual traveler
22. Mai 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
This huge 896-page tome is a great resource for planning an extensive trip to and through Spain, for long-term visitors to the country, or for expatriates who live in Spain and want a detailed tourism reference that covers all parts of the country.
While Lonely Planet Country Guides have really set a standard in travel literature, I don't think this book is for everyone because it contains a ton of information that most casual travelers will never need or use. Those planning a short trip to catch the sights in Madrid, Barcelona with a couple days in Andalusia or Costa Brava will probably be better off with a less detailed book. Lonely Planet has the Discover Spain guide, which features shorter length, more pictures and illustrations, and more of a laser focus on top tourist sites. I am convinced Lonely Planet's "Discover" series is actually a response to the successful "Eyewitness" series by DK -- like their Spain guide.
But if you need depth and breadth, the Country Guide is the way to go. I have been using Lonely Planet since 1989, when I first bought the Japan Country Guide. Before getting this book, the most recent Country Guide I had seen was the 2008 edition of "Mexico". Even compared to just a few years ago, this latest-generation guide has important updates that make it more relevant and give it a welcome feel of modernity.
The first major change from earlier guides is the inclusion of a lot of "top" lists. The book starts out with the "Top 28 Experiences" in Spain. Each city- or region-focused chapter starts off with boxes titled "Why Go?", "Best Places to Eat" and "Best Places to Stay" on the first page. And there are countless smaller boxes within individual chapters, such as various "Top Five Beaches" lists or "Top Picks for Kids".
The other major, and welcome, change is full color printing throughout the book. The maps now bear a familiar resemblance to those on Google, color typefaces are used to highlight headings and keywords, and a few key tourist sites (like the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the Seville Cathedral, and the Mezquita and Alhambra in Andalusia) are presented in 3-D color computer renderings that map out the sights. (I'm convinced this is another response by Lonely Planet to the features in DK's Eyewitness guides.)
If you need depth, have real or borderline OCD when it comes to vacation planning, or just plain love reading detailed travel books, this guide is for you and gets five stars.
If you'll be spending a week or two in Spain for business or pleasure and you just want to have a good time, do yourself a favor and get something lighter. You may not be happy with the weight and extreme detail found here.

Comprehensive Guide to Spain
28. Mai 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
The best use of this book might be to start at the beginning with a box of paperclips close by and marking items of interest. My first instinct was to go to the index to find information on my "must sees." What a frustrating exercise. For example, don't bother looking for the Prado under "P". Once you understand the system of the book, it is much easier to negotiate. The guide begins with a broad overview by map and color pictures of Spain as a whole. The guide quickly moves to regions, suggesting various itineraries. Each area is then given a separate chapter, following the order listed on the map of regions. So be sure to paperclip the map. Each area, or in come cases city, is described with lodging, restaurants, nightspots, etc., and there are shaded boxes and separate pages for short articles about what is particularly noteworthy about the area. There are many easy-to-follow city maps, including Metro stops in larger cities.
There's a wealth of information in this book, not all of it easy to find. That's why this is a book to read at home, well before the planned trip, perhaps copy a few of the maps, and check websites and other travelers for their opinions on mentioned restaurants and sites. Depending on one source to plan an important and expensive trip could mean missing a site of personal interest. But this comprehensive guide is a great place to start.
