Product Description

Pick your way through the dark passages of the troglodyte caves of the Sierra Nevada. Drive out to the isolated beaches, verdant orchards, infinite mountain vistas and picturesque inland villages of Almeria. Wander the olive grove carpeted hillsides and attractive villages clinging to the mountain slopes of Sierra Subética, before heading down to the lofty halls, decorative squares and churches of Sevilla, where historic palaces stand alongside the last vestiges of Roman and Moorish occupation. Discover the former Nasrid kingdom of Granada and miles of sun-kissed Mediterranean coastline in the provinces of Malaga and Granada. The Michelin Green Guide is the authority on Andalucia today and the forces of nature and society that have shaped it. Michelin's local writers have walked, driven, visited, slept, shopped and eaten through every tour, sight, hotel, restaurant, boutique, café and venue in this guide. Where they have stepped, you won't put a foot wrong. The Green Guide Andalucia is meticulously updated and beautifully illustrated with full-color photographs, scores of Michelin maps, and insider coverage of shopping, nightlife, accommodations and restaurants.

Don't go without it
Excellent guide book that no visitor should be without. Our previous copy got soaked through and all the pages stuck together but we rescued it and continued to use it until we lost it. Have now ordered another.

Handy guide
I bought this before heading off to the Costa de la Luz. It gave us some good ideas of where to visit and the street maps, especially with car parks marked, came in very useful when visiting Seville and Jerez, as did the detailed guide and maps of the Real Alcazar (Royal Palace) in Seville. The potted history was also interesting. I would have liked to see more street maps and more detailed reviews of some of the smaller places (focus, understandably, is more on the big cities) but I guess the book would get a little large then - maybe guide books specific to the individual areas are what's needed. I suspect that the guides of where to eat, stay etc will date very quickly so I'd recommend always looking for a recent publication date.
