From the green hills of Galicia to the scorched plains of Aragon, this book gets off the beaten track and discovers plenty of untouched places in the heart of one of Europe's most visited lands. The guide covers the whole of northern Spain comprehensively, including the Basque country (San Sebastian and Bilbao), Navarra, Aragon, La Rioja, Castilla y Leon, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia. It focuses on the immense cultural and historic differences that characterize the area, with the emphasis on the good life - festivals, restaurants, tapas bars, wine tasting and spectator sports. It also features the entire pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela and plenty of outdoors - good walks, picnic spots and beaches, exploring the Picos and the Pyrenees. The "where-to-stay" section includes hotels, characterful mid-range accommodation and those hard to find unmarked cheapies.
From Cadiz along the Atlantic coast, the Costa de la Luz is the unspoilt and underdeveloped jewel of Andalucia: fine beaches, flower-strewn meadows, rolling farmland, mountains and small, intimate villages. This new guide, the first in our series to investigate this beautiful area, takes you away from the crowds in true Footprint style, to find the authentic heart of Andalucia. Including national parks, Moroccan-influenced Tarifa, beautiful Moorish architecture and opportunities for watersports, including surfing and windsurfing along the Atlantic coast. Great seafood, tasty tapas and a chance to daytrip to Morocco.
