Andalusia: Art & Architecture

I don't think I will ever get to visit these places. I bought this book for the drawings of maps and building plans. The photos in this book are good for a budget armchair tour. These two aspects together satisfied my curiosity about the architecture better than most individual history or travel books. Of course many other arts are represented along with short narrative articles on people and places. Others in the series (Rome and Florence for example) fulfill these expectations as well. Consider them small regional encyclopedias, possibly very suitable for a home schooling shelf.
