Product Description
Fodor’s see it Spain is perfect for travelers who want to understand Spanish history and culture before they arrive, and experience the country like a native Spaniard while they’re there.
Overflowing with brilliant color photography, this is the ONLY illustrated guide that provides the practical information that you need while traveling–complete restaurant and hotel reviews with exact prices for lodging and dining (not ranges), plus time-saving tips and how to avoid crowds, exact admission prices to key sights, great photo stops, and special notes on “kid-friendly” attractions throughout.
Hotels
Our detailed reviews represent the best accommodations in Spain, in all price ranges. From five-star luxury hotels to low-budget pensiones, we’ll tell you what to expect in terms of price and quality through extensive coverage of hotels and their surrounding neighborhoods, exact prices of double-occupancy rooms (including breakfast), plus pictures of hotel facilities and guestrooms.
Restaurants
If you want to experience the best that Spain has to offer, pay particular attention to our outstanding restaurant coverage that will help you choose from the thousands of local eateries that cater to every budget and dining experience. From affordable, family-run comedores to places where you can splurge on a romantic, candlelit dinner at Meson de Candido in Madrid–you’ll find it in see it Spain. Each review covers house signature dishes, ambiance, actual prices for a two-course lunch and a three-course dinner (for two people), hours of operation, and what transportation will get you there.
The Sights
Whether you want to see Parque Nacional de Donana –Europe's greatest wetland, watch a soccer match at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, witness a bullfight in Andalucia or take an invigorating walk through the Pyrenees, see it Spain will take you there. Accessibly written to help you navigate throughout the country without missing a thing, each attraction includes exact admission prices, what galleries and museums not to miss, and where to stop for quick bites and refreshing drinks along the way. Sights are also rated for their “value”, “walkability”, “historic and cultural interest”, plus we suggest fantastic “photo stops” and entertaining and age-appropriate “kid-friendly” attractions throughout the book.
What to Do?
Our shopping walks will lead you to cutting-edge fashions to fit all budgets, from hip streetwear to expensive fashions for your feet. But, Spain has much more to offer than just sight-seeing and shopping. Fodor’s see it Spain provides insider information on classical, theatrical, and cinematic performances, Spain’s music scene (live jazz to underground youth centres), nightlife, spectator and activity sports, and festivals and events.
Atlas and Maps
Detailed neighborhood maps are incorporated throughout the book to help you navigate on historic walks, shopping tours, or to find a restaurant. Plus, a 16-page atlas details each road and path with highlights of important landmarks, parks, metro stations, and car parking areas.
Fodor’s see it™
A brand-new series that shows you before you go, guides you while you’re there, and makes the perfect keepsake on your return.

Confusing July 16, 2004
Stephen McHenry (Olney, MD USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This would be a book to use if you knew you wanted to go to Spain but not sure which part of Spain. The photographs are good, although mostly small, but lots of them, the layout is glossy, and there is a decent attempt to cover each geographic area but if you know what part of Spain you are interested in, you would be much better off getting a book for that area. The layout is a bit confusing, each section of the country is covered several different times in different sections of the book, the maps in the back are for the most part useless; one of Barcelona, one of Madrid, and the rest of the maps are general geographic layout of the country. Only a resource if you are trying to decide which part of Spain, and not a great one although pretty.
