1.Ghosts of Spain: Travels Through a Country's Hidden Past by: Giles Tremlett March 15, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.49 You Save: £4.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.09
I felt like I was reading a series of articles (well that's what Tremlett does for his day job!) rather than a book, so I never really got into it. I tried a couple of times, but I have to say I never finished the book - at about the 1/2 way mark I used it to raise my reading lamp and that's where it remains.

2.Barcelona (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide) by: Annelise Sorensen, Ryan Chandler February 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.49 You Save: £1.50 (21%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.50
I loved my stay at Barcelona, I tried to cramm in as much as I can in 3 days so I got 3 travel guides and this was one of them. It contains 3 important maps: A map of Barcelona, a map of the gothic quarter, and a subway map. These maps are clear and well detailed. By using the top 10 guides I managed to plan out all the must see places and the best places to eat - I definitely recommend the sagrada famiia. + there are top ten guides for each district so you can find out what is near you. Out of the guides I have seen, this and the AA one are easily the best.

4.AA Road Atlas Spain and Portugal (AA Atlases and Maps) (AA Atlases and Maps) by: AA Publishing February 01, 2008

When you find yourself being directed towards motorways that do not exist in you book of maps then you know it is time to buy a new one! The AA Road Atlas does exactly what it says on the cover - super clear mapping. The town plans are useful too. No excuse for ever getting lost in Spain again.

5.Spain (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Damien Simonis, Susan Forsyth, John Noble March 01, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.94 You Save: £6.05 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.97
I know it's my personal bug-bear, but as with most guidebooks on Spain the Murcia region isn't given the same treatment as other regions - just 10 pages (that wrongly suggest that all we've got there is beaches and golf courses) to cover the whole region while Valencia gets 50! That said, I like the Lonely Planet guides, they are beautifully produced and the colour photos are always outstanding.

6.Driving Over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalucia by: Chris Stewart June 03, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.49 You Save: £1.50 (21%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
This book is so well written and witty, describing an idylic life in Spain that I am sure many will be tempted to follow in Chris's and my own footsteps. I have been through the same story as this family, having lived in Spain for the past sixteen years, longer than Chris. I speak fluent Castellano, the same as him. My warning about his book is unless you can speak Spanish perfectly, you will never enjoy half the experiences described. If you are willing to learn the language, then "Driving Over Lemmons" is so good and an inspiration. If you are inspired and are up for it then Spain is still a good choice. My advice is read the book, learn to speak Spanish, enjoy and do the same. Wonderful read and a wonderful country. I am writting this review on the ... Read More:

7.A Parrot in the Pepper Tree: A Sort of Sequel to "Driving Over Lemons" by: Chris Stewart May 30, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.19 You Save: £2.80 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
I picked this book up when I saw it lying on a friend's coffee table and became absorbed from the first chapter, so much so I was barely able to put it down until it was finished. It is written in a humorous, fluent and self-deprecating style that provides a fascinating insight into life as an ex-pat in a remote foreign farming community. The book's worth is increased for me by it coming across as a very honest account of events naturally brought to life by the characters and their situation. Each chapter is a self-contained episode which keeps the whole thing fresh. I certainly chuckled aloud at one or two sections; the improptu talk given to the Swedish on cattle rearing in England being particularly memorable. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

8.The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society by: Chris Stewart May 26, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.03 You Save: £2.96 (42%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
This is the 3rd book in the series from Chris Stewart about his life in Spain. Although it suffers from comparisons with the previous 2 books, taken in isolation it is still a great read. It is full of humour and is an entertaining read.

9.Madeira: Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes): Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes) by: John Underwood, Pat Underwood January 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.44 You Save: £4.55 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.60
There was not much new in this edition and I wished I had stuck with the previous version. It's misleading to call it 'new' when so much of the content is 'old'. It represented poor value in my opinion. Also, some of the walk descriptions are vague and not that easy to follow with great chunks of the routes not described at all.

10.Andalucia (Michelin Regional Maps) from: Michelin Maps 2003-04
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.49 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £0.50 (11%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.11
This is a BIG fold-down map - ain't it always the way, all the 'key' places/roads/etc., are on the folds! Seriously, the BIG format is un-useful if you're driving long distance. It's a PAIN to keep stopping and re-folding - buy a book.
