 Frustrating June 24, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Was no one paying attention? The editor for this book should be fired. With the format of detailing the artistic/architectural sites of interest, with reviews of stores and restaurants/eateries, this was a specialist type travel book that had potential. But where it fails horrible is in it's usability: There is no way to FIND the places the book is reviewing. When the book tells you there is a great restaurant on such-and-such a street, you can't find the street or the location. There are a few pages of maps in the back, but no street index, no little numbers cross referencing locations, nothing. Very frustrating. Most of the information about the museums or cultural sights can be found in other books. You will need a different book or map with street index to find the places reviewed.
The book is compact and easy to carry. This is a very good reference for anyone interested in vegetarian restaurants or commercial art galleries, although you won't be able to find them using this book.
Since this is the first edition one hopes that in the next edition these severe problems are corrected. .

This is a great book ! I have been to barcelona several times, but thanks to this guide I've been able to discover new things. If you're into art and culture, this is the barcelona's guide you'll need.
