Pretty good!
Pretty good travel guide! I think this edition is one of the older ones, compared to the new LP travel guides that read like magazines/brochures (which is a good thing). Has the main information you'll need, reads a little bit like a list of brief descriptions. Great maps.

This is the perfect travel guide for Barcelona!!
The best part is the map and airport card in the back of the book! The card gives you helpful Spanish phrases, ATM locations and Terminal information.

Predictably great, LOVED the insights for things to do
Barcelona is such a visitor-rich destination, it's sometimes easy to feel overwhelmed by fellow travelers. This book offers alternative places and experiences that sidestep some of those overcrowded moments.

Barcelona -- 2023
Looking forward to our trip in 2023. Hope nothing prevents the visit to Barcelona. Initial review says the document will meet our needs.

Ok
Good for the more visited popular neighborhoods, not always up to date for the other neighborhoods.

Badly organized
This book is riddled with misinformation and bad, organization. A cable car is pictured and recommended, but there is no clear information on how to get to it. Recommended restaurants and points of interest lacked coordinates to find them on the maps. Directions on how to get to Parc Guell (a very popular destination) were misleading and hard to follow. These are but a few examples.

Well written and comprehensive
The descriptions of the city and its sights were very good, and the mapping was pretty clear. Probably more useful for an extended visit than a shorter break, and the 'Getting Around' section could be better laid out, ideally with simple maps of the Metro, buses etc.
