| The Rough Guide to the Pyrenees |
|
|
A hefty book for distance walkers
Rough Guides are an essential part of any travellers kit. This one is quite different from the usual tourist information found in other Rough Guides. Aimed at distance and trek walking rather than the country stroll. Not much in the way of those little details found in other editions that make the contents so interesting and informative. Shame this is not pointed out before purchasing.

Designed more for walkers than general tourists
A book of this scope is needed and useful, but the format is not especially easy to use, and seems to be aimed more at hikers. Yet if hiking, why not get the more easily visual Trekking in the Pyrenees published by Trailblazer. The maps of towns like Jaca and Pamplona are useful.

The only positive note is that it is clear enough with..

It now covers both Mallorca & Menorca & therefore less information. I also own the Time Out Guide & would..

Campaigning with the Duke of Wellington and Featherstone: A Guide to the Battles in Spain and Portugal with Donald Featherstone, the Duke of Wellington and All the Others, 1808-14 and 1973-92
|
While the books premise is excellent and the use of eye-witness accounts laudable, the numerous typos, inconsistencies and errors make one feel unable to trust the information presented. (On page 9, we "learn" that the battle of Vitoria occurred in 1815!) The typos are truly jolting: "filed" for fie..
