This updated 2010 edition is a big improvement over its 2009 counterpart. By far the most complete travel guide available and, in my opinion, more entertaining than most of its competitors. The book is divided into Spain's major provinces, each with indepth, practical information for travellers planning a 1 to 4 week holiday.
If you plan on renting a car, you'll find this book especially helpful for its fold-out maps and descriptive car itineraries.
There is a whole section dedicated to the Balearic Islands, with its formitable beaches and bustling nightlife. Perhaps the book's weak point is the fact it doesn't mention the Canary Islands, a string of volcanic islands belonging to Spain just off the west coast of Africa-- I loved the unique lunar landscape of Mt. Teide and the banana plantations on Tenerife Island.
A great buy!
