One for the Road: Moon Spain Handbook
One flip through the first few pages of the Moon Spain Handbook and I'm itching to get back there. The intro to this new book begins with a colorful overview of a country bursting with life -- the Plaza Mayor, Costa Brava, La Rioja, Galicia. A smart color-coded map marks Spain's regions in a rainbow, an appropriate way to introduce the diversity that exists throughout this Iberian gem.The guide starts with a short summary of each region, followed by a few suggested itineraries. It then gets meaty, beginning with the very heart of Spain. After dissecting nightlife, shopping, accommodations, sports, cultural offerings and food (of course!) for Madrid, the guide moves on to do the same for Castilla-La Mancha, Cataluna (including an expanded chapter on Barcelona), Aragon, Valencia, Andalucia, the Islas Baleares and other regions. The 900-page handbook wraps up with a section of county background information - logistics, cultural tidbits, history and popular festivals. It's comprehensive, but still lightweight enough to accompany you on a visit to any or all of these areas.
Moon's Spain handbook is one of three European guides that were released recently -- a first for the popular guidebook series. Ireland and London were also published this spring.
