This is the perfect guide for Americans who want to discover the real Spain. It is a personal record of years of travel throughout Spain by an articulate and educated woman of good taste, and her Spanish husband, Luís. She guides you through the highways and byways where you discover the real Spain, devoid of tourists. Of course, she covers the classic tourist attractions in detail -- through the eyes of a discerning couple.

Discovering Spain is not just another of those annual "one-size-fits-all" travel guidebooks, put together by committee. Don't waste your money on them. This book is the definitive guide. I have been traveling to Spain for over 40 years, and I still bring along her wonderful book. Penelope updates the information every two years to make sure all details are accurate.
