Book Description
"The Handbook for Travellers in Spain" by Richard Ford is an exhaustive travel guide on Spain. Although it was written with the intention of providing detailed information regarding the country to those who intended to travel there, the book goes much beyond a simplistic overview of Spain. Through the eyes of Ford, the reader can actually relive beautiful memories of this rich country and dwell in the sights and sounds described with panache and a sense of deep attachment. The book opens with a section on preliminary information which sums up the points which Ford identified as important markers for travellers. This includes the transport system, customs, and things to do as well as climate among other issues so that one can be well prepared prior to travel. Spread across multiple chapters, each devoted to a particular city or place of importance, Ford breaks up his narrative intelligently for the reader in this volume. "The Handbook for Travellers in Spain" is full of imaginative snippets of information that provide deep insight into the culture and lifestyle of the Spanish. Unlike run of the mill language translations, Ford is able to intuitively identify phrases that would be most apt in different situations and locations and provides functional translation for these in English. His detailed analysis of Madrid is particularly impressive as it dives into the history, art and architecture of the place rather than providing just a superficial overview. "The Handbook for Travellers in Spain" has ample illustrations and maps for easy identification of popular locations. This is one title that would be of immense help not just for back packers but casual enthusiasts as well who wish to know more about Spain.
