Customer Reviews

Small book but beautifully put together
With such a small (pocket) size there have to be some compromises on how much you can write about such a huge area (covering all southern coast of Spain).

However, the authors have done a good job in structuring the book so that they work systematically along the coast (West to East) so you can find the bit you're nearby and visit places within your reach (or car).

They highlight all the interesting places to visit, eating establishments (including after dark) and even have a useful 'Menu Decoder' so you have an idea of what you about to order!

It will certainly be in my pocket on my next visit to Espana!

Finding the best palces to visit in Costa de Almeria
This book was purchased on behalf of my parents, whom visited this region of Spain this year. They found the book very informative and enabled them to select/reafirm the places of interest to them. I understand it was well used and a super buy at a 3rd of the price of any local bookstore!
