Selling for a lower price than any similar guidebook, and deliberately limited to a short 256 pages, this Easy Guide is an exercise in creating easily-absorbed travel information. It emphasizes the authentic experiences in each destination:the most important attractions, the classic method of approaching a particular destination; the best choices for accommodations and meals; the best ways to maximize the enjoyment of your stay. Because it is ‘quick to read, light to carry’, it is called an ‘Easy Guide’, and reflects Arthur Frommer’s lifetime of experience in presenting clear and concise travel advice.

Patricia Harris and
David Lyon drove almost every twisting mountain road as they researched three previous Frommer’s guidebooks about Spain. As much as they enjoy the countryside, they find themselves inexorably drawn to the great cities of Madrid and Barcelona, where Spanish life and culture are writ large. Founders of Hungry Travelers.com, they have a deep appreciation for the perfect codfish croqueta, an honest plate of patatas bravas, or a heap of peel-and-eat-garlic shrimp, ideally consumed at an outdoor table in one of Barcelona’s ancient squares or at the crowded bar in a Madrid taberna. They write about travel, food, wine, spirits and contemporary art for journals as varied as the Robb Report, the Boston Globe and Westways. They reside in Boston, MA.
