Rezensionen / Stimmen
"We learnt more in 10 minutes than we had in days scrutinising tour operator websites and brochures, from other guidebooks and searches on-line, both in Spain and in the UK. It helped enormously with planning our itinerary but most emphatically came into its own once we arrived." -- David Gilmour
