Northern Spain

by Dana; Pauls Facaros, Michael Pauls

Forget the Costas and discover a different, greener Spain with Cadogan's thoroughly researched and entertaining guide to Northern Spain. Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls will take travelers on a memorable journey through the magnificent Pyrenees and the Basque lands of Navarra and Euskadi, and fascinate them with their insightful commentary on the prehistoric art of the Puento Viesgo Caves and Spain's finest Visigothic architecture in Castilla-León. For wine-lovers, there's a trip to La Rioja, whilst sun-worshippers will enjoy the lively summer resort of Santander. And if travelers fancy something a little energetic to work off all the food and wine, special sections provide expert guidance on canoeing, fishing, and diving in the rapids of the Asturias and around the Bay of Biscay, plus golfing in Gijón.

Excellent guide to the region. I mainly used the historical overview in the beginning and the Galicia section. Includes personal recommendations from the author for hotels and restaurants in different price ranges - all of the ones we tried were great. The descriptions of both cities and rural areas were accurate and well done.
