Title: Not as good as earlier editions
Review: I've been using LP guide books to Europe ever since it came out with the first edition about 20 years ago, whenever I traveled independently on Eurail Pass, because of the comprehensive information found in the chapter of every country for travellers on a shoestring budget, esp. when it came to finding value meals and places to stay. This edition somehow deviated from the earlier format by summarizing the recommended accommodations in places of interest all together on a separate section of the book. Most of the recommended places to stay, aside from the Youth Hostels, have also gone upscale with more EEE's price code than E's, which were not budget at all, esp. considering the current strength of the Euro vs. the US$. This 6th edition would be a helpful guide only to those who are not travelling on a shoestring budget. Considering this, Rick Steve's Spain 2011, which also included chapters on Southern Spain, is a good alternative.
