lacki

Very superficial and not very helpful. I expected an analysis of behavior and attitudes and found a superficial description of the most obvious things you see and suffer every day.
Politically correct writing is fine when you don't want to offend a proud Spaniard, but not at all helpful for a struggling stranger.
I cannot recommend this book. For me it was a waste of time.

Lemana

Full of silly advice and stereotypes, this is not a very useful book. Sojourners to Spain could likely do better elsewhere.

This book - and series - has been very helpful to high school student, doing assignments on the cultures and countries where the languages they're trying to learn are spoken. This series offers these guides for France, Spain and Germany and many others. The information is easily accessible and helpful to any as a solid introduction - and assignment and travel "jump-start".

I am fully satisfied with the product and its really help me to imagine about the life in Spain in details.

Unde

Of all of the guidebooks to Spain I've read, this is the worst. It is a condescending anthropological study of Spaniards and the visitor to Spain.
Just listen to this example of the "advice" given:
"Nowadays there is a system of numbers at some of the supermarket counters, particularly the butcher's. You take a number from a roll fixed on the counter and wait for it to be called. If there are lots of numbers ahead of your own, this leaves you free to carry on with other shopping until your turn draws near. But make sure you are available when your number is called. Otherwise you will be made to draw a new number and made to wait over again."
If this is the type of advice you need, you may need more than just this guidebook to help you through Spain.
Besides being written for idiots, the book has another assumption which is purely annoying: Spaniards are good and all others are evil. For example when describing the recent increase in crime, the book implies that all crime is commited by either gypsies or foreigners.
The simplicity of this book is only necessary if you are a stereotypical tourist who needs help understanding anything basic about a country other than the US. If you are actually curious about Spanish culture, however, a better choice is "Discovering Spain, An Uncommon Guide" by Penelope Casas.

If you know absolutely nothing about Spain, this could be a nice book to very lightly acquaint you with the Spainish culture. It definitely does not live up to it's description. It touches on (one paragraph) many different topics, many of which I would have liked to know more about but just read about what I already know. It's not horrible, just basic. It most definetly does not prepare one for a trip to Spain or if you plan to move there(as I am doing). For example, it tells you there are comprehensive bus and train systems...I need to know their names and how to use them.(of course they have them, anyone would assume that) For me this was a waste of time and money.

Alsath

This is a pretty good description of what you need to know most about when you get to Spain. There are several chapters that repeat things but it was informative for the most part. Not a bad book to read if you have the time and are interested in the history of Spain and what the culture is like.

I bought this book to help prepare myself for an upcoming move to Madrid, Spain. It was pretty easy to read but also very vague. The last copyright date is 1998 which is a bit outdated now.

It's recommended if you want a broad overview of Spain and the history of the country but not if you're looking for more detail or depth.
