Frommer's The Algarve With Your Family and Barcelona Day by Day
Published by Frommer's - January 2008
Experience the Best of Iberia with two new Frommer’s Guides.....
Thanks to its mild climate and rich cultural history, the Iberian Peninsula has long been a popular destination for British tourists. With its trendy bars, modern architecture and thriving design scene, Barcelona is ideal for a city break, and the new Frommer’s Barcelona Day by Day guide is designed to ensure that visitors get the best of the city in a short time. The Algarve is best suited for a family holiday with its child-friendly sandy beaches, historic castles and family-friendly accommodation, and the new Frommer’s The Algarve With Your Family guide is written entirely with this in mind.
Both guides open with a selection of highlights, ideal for travellers who want a quick guide to the best of the destination. The Barcelona Day by Day guide picks out the ‘top 15 favourite moments’ tailored to those looking for a city break, including insider tips such as the ‘cava crawls’, a tapas crawl where each dish is washed down with a glass of cava. The highlights in The Algarve With Your Family include events, accommodation, restaurants and outdoor activities, but only those best suited to a family holiday.
The travel experts at Frommer’s continue in this vein throughout the guides, giving honest advice on the best places to go, and where to avoid. All hotels, restaurants and attractions featured have been given a star rating based on the quality, value, service, amenities and special features on offer. Zero stars means that it is recommended, and three stars are awarded to exceptional places. If it’s not recommended, then it simply isn’t featured in the guide. What’s more, icons are used throughout to give user-friendly tips such as what age group or price range an attraction is suitable for.
In The Algarve guide, attractions are also labelled with terms such as ‘find’ for those places that only insiders know about, or ‘overrated’ for places that are likely to disappoint. Download a free fun pack to help keep the kids entertained while on holiday.
