Barcelona Step by Step: The Definitive Guide to Barcelona's Streets & Sights

Turner's book is a good, straightforward guide for walking inthe city. It doesn't offer much in the way of photos, but it givesyou the information you need to tour Barcelona in a coherent way. The material is organized geographically, and some of the areas overlap. Each tour has its own focus and is clearly described in its introduction, so you can easily pick the tours and the sights that interest you. The book was written several years ago and of course things keep changing in the city, but it remains a useful guide.
