Product Description
From the green hills of Galicia to the scorched plains of Aragon, this book gets off the beaten track and discovers plenty of untouched places in the heart of one of Europe's most visited lands. The guide covers the whole of northern Spain comprehensively, including the Basque country (San Sebastian and Bilbao), Navarra, Aragon, La Rioja, Castilla y Leon, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia. It focuses on the immense cultural and historic differences that characterize the area, with the emphasis on the good life - festivals, restaurants, tapas bars, wine tasting and spectator sports. It also features the entire pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela and plenty of outdoors - good walks, picnic spots and beaches, exploring the Picos and the Pyrenees. The "where-to-stay" section includes hotels, characterful mid-range accommodation and those hard to find unmarked cheapies.

They did it again! March 24, 2004

Well, I'm again here recommending a Footprint book. I took two weeks off and travelled from San Sebastian to Vigo, and from there to Portugal (where I used a Michelin for a three day stay). If you have more than a week, Footprint is the way to go (and read the guide BEFORE travel, like always). Is a great thing that they decided to write this sector guides (about only a part of a country) because it allows you to take in some areas without feeling that you paid for something that you will not use. Also, it represents better the way I do tourism. The cheap hotel (pensions) reccommendations where incredibly accurate (and I saved a lot of euros without losing quality). One line even mentioned a dog pertaining to a hostel owner, and since the dog passed away last year the owner wanted to see the guide to remember him and was happy to see that his dog will always be in a printed page! (that was in Oviedo). Continue with the good job people.
