3 comments about Forty Day Trips from Rota: Easy Adventures in Southern Spain.

1. I have been in the area for a little over a year and it has been a great investment. My family and I have enjoyed countless hours on the road with this book. Very detailed and easily translated. I would recommend this book for anyone who is looking to be Stationed or even looking to retire in the Area. Thanks for the Great Memories.



2. I have been stationed in Rota, Spain, and buy a copy for those family and guests before they come so they have an idea of what they would like to do.
   All trips are easy an well layed out.
   My family uses it a last minute planner for the weekends. We can not decide what to do.. We just pick up the book and take a pick.
   Most of what Southern Spain has to offer is covered with few omittions. Written down to earth and simple.



3. This is an excellent book to have on hand if you are moving to Rota.
   We put this in our carry-on luggage and thought of all the fun things we could do when we finally arrived to Spain.
   The book has become very useful. It gives specific instructions how to get around, but I would also recommend visiting the towns "Department of Tourism", they will give you a detailed map.

1. This series of city gudes are wonderful for any traveler. They are handy and small enough to fit in a pocket. They provide useful information at a glance.

4 comments about Living Abroad in Spain.

1. Nicely written book. Some info may not be very useful, especially if you have been to Spain. Genreally, a pleasant reading and good organization. Will give you some idea on what living in Spain is like. You are better off if you know someone in Spain or have relatives.



2. In general, this is a useful introduction to the issues an expatriate will face when moving to Spain. As an American citizen who is considering making the move, I also like that the book is written by an American (most English-language books on moving to Spain are written by--and largely for--UK citizens, who have it much easier than Americans with regard to residency and work permits).
   
   However, I find it frustrating that Weinstein completely ignores the major catch-22 that bars most non-EU citizens from legal employment in Spain: most Spanish employers will not hire without an existing work permit, but it's extremely difficult to get a work permit without having a standing job offer. Even Google, an American company that has a branch in Madrid, will not consider applicants who do not already have EU working papers in hand. Weinstein does not say how she got around this problem; does not say how any other non-EU citizens have gotten around this problem; does not give any pointers on where to find companies that might be willing to sponsor Americans for a visa; in fact, does not mention this issue at all.
   
   Had I known of this glaring, hugely important omission, I would not have bought the book. Now you know. If what you want is general information about the logistics of life in Spain, this book is great. But if you're a non-EU citizen who is looking for guidance in circumventing the major catch-22 of employment in Spain, look elsewhere.



3. I just decided to look into moving to Spain and being green behind the ears this was the perfect book for my stage of research. Some "living in spain" books might be more detailed or specific, but Weinstein's book was written as if the author and I were sitting across the table at a Starbucks. She gave a general introduction to the highlights of not only history and culture but of the region and what locations will fit "me". A very easy and motivating read. If your still wondering if you want to make the move or where to go, this is your book.



4. The book is well written, but if you have a family, this book is not for you. The information regarding children and education is very sparse.

1 comments about Lonely Planet Madrid Encounter.

1. This is an abbreviated guide by Lonely Planet Publications that is perfect for anyone visiting Madrid on business or otherwise staying for a couple of days only. The city's cultural, social and commercial highlights are laid out in succinct and efficient manner. It includes a respectable listing of recommended restaurants with estimated costs. There is a chronological listing of annual events (by the month) that is very helpful. Places and events of interest to gay travelers are included. There is no padding of the guide with paid advertising--a big plus in my opinion. And finally, there is a decent, zip-out map of the city included with the guide.

2 comments about Eating & Drinking in Spain: Spanish Menu Reader and Restaurant Guide.

1. Very handy to carry around, and filled with obscure (but useful) vocabulary to aid in translating menus.



2. The perfect addition to any traveler's bag. Carry this and never worry about what you just ordered from the menu. Highly recommended.
