About the Author
Neil Edward Schlecht is a freelance writer based in northwestern Connecticut. His first exposure to Spain was teaching English for a summer at a Col.legi Sant Ignasi in Barcelona. He returned to the Catalan capital just before the 1992 Olympics and spent most of the decade there, working on social and economic development projects for the European Union and later as a contributing writer for a Spanish art and antiques magazine. Neil is the author or co-author of a dozen travel guides, including Frommer’s Peru, Frommer’s Cuba, Frommer’s South America, Frommer’s New York, Frommer’s Texas, and Spain For Dummies. But little motivates him like the chance to discover new restaurants and wines in Spain.

Great Book for the Traveler
This was a great guide - if I was to do it again for the first trip to barcelona I would recommend this book. For your second trip there invest in one a little larger so it can go into more detail on everything you see, but that's all. This book is great.

Perfect for a short trip!
This book is absolutely fantastic! It's small and concise while still being detailed enough for a short trip to Barcelona. It offers several suggestions for how to spend 1, 2 or 3 days. The guide book was perfect for our port stop in Barcelona on a recent cruise. I hesitated to buy a book for just one city, but it provided much more information than our general Spain book did. It was not too big or too small - great for walking around for the day - and included a fold out map. I highly recommend any book in this series. The guided Modernista walk provided structure to our wandering in Barcelona. It also features a guided walk of Las Ramblas and tons of other helpful information that we used on our short trip in Barcelona. If you were staying more than a week, I might go for something a little more detailed, but this book hits all the highlights.

solid book
Just came back from a European tour...and this book was the best of the bunch. The day to day format made my two night trip very easy to plan. Recommendations were solid, train maps helpful, overall I recommend it.
