Spain - The Complete Travel Guide
Spain runs on a different clock, and it catches visitors out more than any other country in Europe.
Lunch is at two. Dinner starts at nine-thirty and the restaurant will be empty before it. Shops close in the afternoon and open again when you've gone back to the hotel. Half the things you planned for Sunday are shut.
A guide that gives you a list of sights doesn't help with any of that.
This one gives you the day, built around how Spain actually works.
SIX CITIES, THREE TRIP LENGTHS
Every city has a 3-day, 7-day and 14-day itinerary, split into morning, afternoon and evening, with stops grouped by walking distance.
THE THING NO OTHER GUIDE HAS
A Google Maps link on every landmark, restaurant, hotel and activity. Tap and your phone opens it.
And a direct booking link on everything that needs one, which in Spain includes the Sagrada Família and the Alhambra, both of which sell out weeks ahead in season.
