Sandra Gustafson's Cheap Eats in Spain: A Traveler's Guide to the Best-Kept Secrets

This is a great book, and luckily for travelers to Europe, it is part of a series. I've travelled with these books to London, Paris, Italy and Spain and have found all of the gems included on the pages absolutely on the mark. The description of each restaurant is quite useful and you know exactly what to expect when you walk into the front door. Not only does Sandra describe the decor and atmosphere, in many descriptions she also includes good picks for menu items, as well as any cost saving tips. This book will guarantee that you have a great meal every time you pick it up. The book is especially great for travelers since you don't have to plan your meals in advance. There are great finds in almost every part of the city and all you have to do is open to the map page to locate a handfull of close restaurants, then read about them. I've found many of my favourite spots this way and most of these are visited by locals only - a great bonus!
