OUR STORY A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.
It took me forever to finish this and I'm not sure if it's because I didn't feel like reading or if it's because the book was boring. It's a guidebook, not a super read, but guidebooks can be fun, too. This one wasn't. I'm not sure if I want to visit Barcelona after reading this, but I might change my mind. Anyway, it wasn't the best read. Adios!
Barcelona comes over as a very interesting city in this thorough guide, and I learned a lot more about Gaudi and Catalan Modernism. I also found that Barcelona is indeed a place I would very much like to visit. I already knew about the as yet incomplete Sagrada Família, but did not realise how much more of Barcelona owes its form to Gaudi.
There was also a very interesting history of Barcelona which was also a history of the Catalan people. This led a lot of background to the current hot topic of Catalan independence.
This would be an excellent guide for anyone wishing to visit Barcelona, and a good all round guide for anyone wanting to know more about the city.
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.
Guida più per ristoranti, bar e negozi che della città. Risente inoltre, per noi italiani, del fatto che gli autori sono anglo americani e quindi poco rispondenti ai nostri gusti culinari. Unico pregio: è aggiornata
Anticipo dicendo che non sono un'amante delle lonelyplanet e questa probabilmente è l'ultima che prenderò. Carina, ben fatta la parte sulla città, inclusi i segmenti sulla storia, gli stili architettonici e gli artisti. Buona organizzazione e spiegazioni chiare
