1 comments about AAA Spiral Guide: Andalucia.

1. Many people pick up a AAA guide expecting to find only directions, hotel locations, and a towing number. Nothing could be further from the truth! AAA's Spiral Guide: Andalucia is filled with not only excellent maps, but manages to give a respectable account of many of the riveting sights each sub-region has to offer.

   The book itself is in fact broken down by these sub-regions; for example, Seville has it's own section, as does Granada and it's surrounding area. This, along with each section's illustrated map, help turn wherever you find yourself in Andalucia into a more familiar place.

   The guide is not just for motorists, either. The list of attractions may be easily used by cyclist, bus, or train passenger with equal ease. However, I reccomend backpackers go with Rough Guide or Lonely Planet, which will go into more detail regarding items of importance to you.

   While not as all-encompassing as the Rough Guide or Lonely Planet, AAA's Spiral Guide: Andalucia rates as a solid buy.

4 comments about Living in Portugal (Living In...).

1. The title led me to think that this book might be a guide to actually living in Portugal. It is nothing of a sort, but rather a beautiful book of pictures of life in Portugal. Lovely to look at, with the usual tending-to-purple travel industry text. If it's a book of very nice photos of Portugal you're looking for you'll enjoy this, but for some solid information about Portugal look elsewhere.



2. Not a light 5 stars, but well deserved. "Living" does not denote a short stay, but an investment. A beautiful book of very fine pictures. Includes many 'coordinated', decorated interior photographs of interesting household living quarters. The copy is well considered, and without "fluff", but written with a tender understanding of the country and its people. I have found this book to be a wealth of information and enjoyment. (don't look here for 'where to dine' -- it's in a different class).



3. Not really about living in Portugal, but rather, a nice resource to start deciding where one might want to live or travel in that pretty little country. It contains brief, well written summaries of Portugal's distinctive geographic regions, and is beautifully photographed. A large book for displaying a livingroom coffee table, and a nice read on a rainy day.



4. This book turned up in a search for travel books on Portugal. It is a lovely photographic tour of Portual, with a little special emphasis on the homes of the nobility and wealthy business families. The inns and hotels that are mentioned in an off-hand manner are very pricey. However, once you've visited here you might well find this book to be a lovely remembrance of your trip.
