Reviews for Lonely Planet Barcelona

[pivic-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book was informative, well-written and contained a lot of helpful info, but the bit about La Rambla being a good place to start is not my cup of tea at all. All in all: useful info, but being 35 years of age without kids, I loved Unlike Barcelona (the site's named that) and their helpful, updated info.
