Day by Day guides are short and punchy city guides that direct travellers on a short break around the city in the most effective way. The guides are aimed at sophisticated travellers who are looking for a very accessible read to make the most of their stay. Through the use of special-interest tours in the books, travellers are able to get a good idea of the geography of their city instantly before exploring it in an interesting way, giving people some surprising choices for what to see and do, that they might not have thought to consider normally. These travellers know that there's a kind of science to organizing your time on a trip, to avoid a lot of needless backtracking or overbooking and Day by Days provide this information in an accessible way. Includes special interest tours that appeal to tapas lovers, history enthusiasts, art and architecture buffs and New World adventurers. Details great neighborhood walking tours through Barrio Santa Cruz, Centro, Triana, Alameda and Macarena. Includes day trips to Italica and Carmona. Features include wandering in the Alcazar, enjoying the passion of impromptu flamenco dancing, discovering incredible ornate interiors in old churches, cycling along the riverbank and reclining in a Moorish teahouse.
Of the half-dozen books we purchased before our trip to Seville, this is the one we took with us. Great recommendations for hotels, restaurants, tapas bars, shopping and sights to see. Excellent maps and suggested walking tours.
Perfect for a short stop in Seville!

This book is absolutely fantastic! It's small and concise while still being detailed enough for a short trip to Seville. It offers several suggestons for how to spend 1, 2 or 3 days in Seville. The guide walk is perfect for our upcoming cruise. I hesitated to buy a book like this for just one city, but it really does provide SO much more information than a general Spain book would. However, it does so without being too big (or too small) and includes a great fold-out map. I highly recommend any book in this series.
