Customer Reviews

This book made our trip to Spain a hundred times better

We got this as a gift the night before we left for Spain and it made the whole trip better. My wife read most of the stories on the plane on the way over and then I read them at the hotel. It truly made the trip so much more meaningful. And it helped us to figure out where we wanted to go and illuminated so much about the culture of the people of Spain. I have a much better sense of the culture and people of this wonderful country. It made the experience of our trip richer and deeper. If you're going to Spain, don't go without this book.
