I own two books of this series (Andalucia and Normady, aka "Across the Channel") and love them both. If your holiday plans ever revolve around finding the best food, or if you're trying to relax, not just go, go, go then these books are perfect. Each short chapter is a separate tour focusing on one excellent restaurant, something worth making a drive for. Then it gives tourist information for the surrounding area (choosing the best of what's around, not just listing everything). Churches, museums and other cultural sites, national parks, a local winery, etc. The idea is that you set out from wherever you're staying, see the suggested sites (most likely something off the beaten path, but there are city suggestions as well) and then settle in for a nice leisurely lunch (ideally something with a great terrace and an incredible view). The practical information on both sites and restaurants is accurate and detailed. Maps and driving directions are included for every little tour. The restaurants tend towards the pricier, but as many of them are small town or country places, they are often quite affordable. I looked this up hoping there was another in the series for my next destination.
