We used this book as our main guide for a recent trip to Barcelona and were very happy with it. The descriptions of sites are very comprehensive, and the details (opening hours, costs, etc.) are accurate and complete. We also appreciated the sidebars about things you might run across, such as cava or the sardana.The most useful feature is that every site, resturant, hotel, etc. listed in the book is also pinpointed on one of the maps in the back, making things extremely easy to find.Also helpful is a listing of restaurants by type. I'm a vegetarian and we used the list of vegetarian restaurants constantly. Unfortunately, some of the restaurants we looked for no longer exist.The other book we had was Time Out Barcelona. We found the site descriptions to be inferior, but it has a very good restaurant section and also a street index which was quite helpful.We mostly used the Sights and Food sections, so I can't comment on the other sections in the book.
