Summary

For the traveler who wants to escape the crowd and still experience the spirit of the region, Footprint's Andalucia Handbook is useful for journey-takers of all ages and budgets. Thoroughly revised and updated, this new edition includes coverage of the region's three biggest cities: Granada, Seville, and Cordoba. A practical guide to the area, the book suggests where to stay for all budgets, including hotels, paradors, fondas, campgrounds, and special recommendations. Also provided are comprehensive listings of restaurants, bodegas, and tapas bars, as well as nightlife, entertainment, and shopping. Over 68 color maps accompany the descriptions and are cross-referenced within the text. The author, who has lived in Andalucia since the 1960s, also offers tips on getting around by bike or on foot.
