Barcelona Like a Local: By the People Who Call It Home (Local Travel Guide)
A pocket-sized hardback book approx. 13.5cm x 18cm; this would easily fit inside a travel bag.
5 different Barcelona residents, all with a background in writing, have helped write this book so that you can visit this city and enjoy it the ‘local way’.
There are small maps of the different districts and lots of information about eating, drinking, transport, arts, culture etc.
Known as Barna by the locals, this book will show you that there’s more to the city than sun, sand and sangria. How about Tapas in Sant Antoni? Or try one of the Orxateries and Xocolateries (no coffee, no alcohol, think chocolate and nut drinks) cafes which are unique to Barcelona.
If you still want the beach, then the locals know of some good hidden spots which they share with you.
For just £12.99 this book is a little gem for those wanting a city break or a longer holiday exploring this vibrant place.

Written for the younger demographic. Lots of tips, although the maps are hard to read.
There's information on the illustrator, but nothing on the author/authors.

Superb for art, tapas, clubs, museums, vintage shopping, and wine bars.
