Frommer's Spain
Frommer's books aren't "written" by A.I., like so many others, or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We use seasoned, locally-based journalists like Peter Barron (formerly of the BBC), along with writers who live part-time in Spain, like Patricia Harris, David Lyon and Murray Stewart. The four of them spent months checking out all of Spain's best hotels, attractions, shops, wineries, and restaurants in person, so they could offer authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the venues that suit your tastes and budget. In short, use this book and you'll be eating in the places most tourists don't know about, visiting top attractions at times when the crowds are at their thinnest, and patronizing the bars and clubs Spaniards hold dear. Whether you're partying the night away in the Balearic Islands, exploring architecture and history in Barcelona or Bilbao, or walking the Camino de Santiago, this book will make your vacation better. We include advice the tourist board wouldn't approve of: which sites to skip, how to avoid the crowds, and how to stretch your travel budget further, whether you're on a lavish honeymoon or backpacking it.Inside the guide: Full-color photos and helpful maps, including a detachable foldout mapDetailed itineraries for planning your trip to suit your schedule and interests (and help you avoid lines and crowds)Candid reviews of the best restaurants, historic sights, museums, tours, shops, and experiences―and no-punches-pulled info on the ones not worth your time and moneyAccurate, up-to-date info on transportation, useful websites, telephone numbers, and moreCompelling cultural information so that you'll better understand the history, cuisine, and traditions of SpainBudget-planning help with the lowdown on prices and ways to save money, whether you're traveling on a shoestring or in the lap of luxuryAbout Frommer's: There's a reason Frommer's has been the most trusted name in travel for more than 65 years. Arthur Frommer created the best-selling guide series in 1957 to help American servicemen fulfill their dreams of travel in Europe, and since then, we have published thousands of titles, become a household name, and helped millions upon millions of people realize their own dreams of seeing our planet. Travel is easy with Frommer's.

Lost in Amsterdam
Amsterdam. Paved into its streets is an artistic heritage centuries old. And though its liberal laws and relaxed environment have pulled in tourists in recent decades, the city offers much more than canals and coffee shops. The legacy of the Dutch Masters lives on, trans- formed, in a new generation of innovative artists and designers. The docks and wharfs of the Noord are examples of abandoned corners that have been reclaimed and reinvigorated. Even the architecture has been reinterpreted, with a modern spin on the classic canal house. Visitors today can travel to pop-up restaurants on abandoned islands or dine in 300-year-old green houses. Despite its rich history, Amsterdam is constantly evolving. But it's the people who shape the city's atmosphere. In Amsterdam we spoke to gifted personalities: the local denim king, an urban artist, a celebrated chef... Our recommendations are complemented by photographic showcases and in-depth stories from global and local talents. It's all about original minds and the creative vibe. Get lost in the sights, smells and flavours of the city. Get lost in Amsterdam. A skate ramp in a restaurant, a bar in a former officers' mess, a natural beach in the centre, animals on boats, a warehouse for vintage furniture, a baking stuntman... Get lost in the city of variety. Includes * 5 long-form interviews with celebrated locals on their relationship with Amsterdam and their absolute favourite spots * A selection of the hottest places to visit in two of the city's most charismatic neighbourhoods * A selection of our top picks for the entire city

Architecture and design have always starred in Sweden, and several globally admired fashion brands have recently added more assets to the city's charm. But in the end, it's not the statistics or rankings. It's the people who generate the feel of the turf. In Stockholm, we spoke to gifted personalities who have shaped the city's atmosphere.

Costa Brava
Based on a systematic research into the touristic image projected through postcards from the 1960s and 70s, Jordi Puig brings us this book to identify the image that, during those years, we managed or wanted to give of the Costa Brava and our country. The book also tells us of the work done by photographers and publishers, folk culture, tradition versus modernity, the architecture and the landscape or how postcards evolved as a form of visual and written expression. And, of course, tourism as a mass cultural phenomenon. In Catalan, Spanish, English & French

CASANOVALTA is a rich and lyrical memoir set in mid 20th-century Tuscany where former Hollywood actress Anita Eubank and her husband, famed architect Craig Ellwood, take on the restoration of a crumbling Renaissance-era stone farmhouse.Drawn from the pages of her personal journal, Anita recounts enduring a freezing winter, cultural clashes, and the unexpected joys of rural Italian life. Through art, photographs, recipes, and evocative storytelling, she captures the humor, struggle, and deep transformation sparked by a house-and a land-that demanded everything.A love story, a creative journey, and a testament to resilience, CASANOVALTA invites you into a timeless world where the past and present intertwine."Anita Eubank is the most useful architectural historian I've ever met! A history like this had to be written so that we could all read and experience it ourselves. One of the best experiences of my life!"- Roberto Zancan, professor (HEAD-Gen癡ve) Haute 矇cole d'art et de design-University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland"The glowingly illustrated recipes are written as though we've just taken a walk with the author in the Tuscan hills and are now in her kitchen, turning the bounty into goodness."-Janet Sternburg, author of White Matter, A Memoir of Family and Medicine; fine art photographer for Looking at Mexico, Mexico Looks Back
Illes Balears
Only a group of islanders mad about the islands could have concocted a book like this. The photographer Sebasti? Torrens (Inca, 1964) and writers Miquel Ray籀 (Palma, 1952), Pon癟 Pons (Alaior, 1956), Jean Serra (El Biar, Algeria, 1952; the son of an exiled couple from Ibiza) and Antoni Vidal Ferrando (Santany穩, 1945) have conjured up the four elements that in ancient times were believed to shape the world: air, earth, water and fire / light, showing us, through these elements, the nature and landscape of the Balearic Islands. The extraordinary photographs by Sebasti? Torrens of the wildlife and landscape of Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, Formentera and Cabrera, sometimes so delicate and other so striking, are a manifesto in favour of conserving a beauty that only human stupidity would dare to destroy. And Ray籀, Pons, Serra and Vidal Ferrando, with their poetic texts that emerge as the fruit of their radical status of islanders, allow us to share and admire the deep and unconditional love they all feel for the Balearics. In Catalan, Spanish, English & German

The lands of Catalunya Nord, the part today in France, the Balearic Islands, Andorra, the Franja, the strip between Catalonia and Aragon, Pa穩s Valenci?, the Principality of Catalonia and L'Alguer form an extremely important linguistic, historical and scenic heritage. Despite this, their differences and singularities give each part an attractive and powerful personality. A carefully-chosen selection of texts by diverse authors linked to the lands accompany the most poetic, special, popular, symbolic and cultural settings.

Girona
This is a book of possible itineraries around the city of Girona, which owes as much to the paths forged by traditions as it does to the random meanderings triggered by memories. When all is said and done, a city is the sum total of the wandering passions that shapes each visitor as they walk. Whether you are a local or an incomer, this does not substantially alter the certainty that any landscape -even the ones that are under- pinned by such well-established forms as historic centres -only comes to life through the experience of being there.In Catalan & English
