Customer Reviews

Great travel resource

Just what I wanted for planning our trip to Barcelona. The Frommer's guides are easy to understand and give great travel "hints" for your destination.

Pretty Good - Not Ideal

It's a solid guidebook but it's not ideal. The layout leaves a lot to be desired and it's not as clear in its dicussions as I would have hoped in various areas but overall it's a solid purchase.
