Completely revised and updated for 2007, 'Let's Go Spain & Portugal' is researched and compiled entirely by students who know first-hand how to see the world on the cheap. This guide has insider tips and information and is more useful and opinionated than ever.
Spain is a colourful and cultured playground offering equally generous portions of art, architecture, beaches and nightlife. Its people have a laid-back lifestyle of siestas and sangria and the widely diverse regions assure something for everyone. Art lovers head for Barcelona and Bilbai in northern Spain, and between the two lies San Sebastian which boasts the most Michelin-starred chefs per capita in the world. Madrid is the pumping heart of the late-night partying, while those seeking the sun drenched beaches head to the Mediterranean coast.
Spain's neighbour, Portugal, is often unjustly overshadowed. For those who visit, there are impressive imperial monuments in Lisbon, spectacular beaches and wild nightlife in the Algarve, and small inland towns that retain a timeless feel, with medieval castles overlooking rushing rivers and peaceful town squares.
