 Excellent Guide for Barcelona Tourists Jun 16, 2008
This map is an excellent resource for tourists who prefer independent travel in Barcelona. My wife and I used this map exclusively while touring Barcelona and it was well marked with all major attractions as well as having a complete listing of all street names and places of interest. Well worth the price.
A Must Have Feb 08, 2008
Spent 5 days in Barcelona in a wonderful apartment in Barri Gottic...this map was indespensible. Very sturdy,easy to read,lightweight,easy to store in backpack pocket. Perfect size print and useful key.

handy map, but some flaws Jan 18, 2008
I visited Barcelona in December 2007 and used the Streetwise Barcelona available at that time. Apparently the map has subsequently been updated (in Jan. 2008), but the one I used had at least one confusing error, and one irritating design/layout problem. The error is where the map showed the location of Gaudi's La Pedrera; the icon had the right shape to emulate the building's curvy shape, but it was placed one block over from where the building really is. Also confusingly, the map showed a separate location for Casa Mila (one block over), the icon for that being a plain little square shape. In reality, Casa Mila and La Pedrera are the same building, but the map had me quite confused on that point for awhile until other literature steered me right. (Where the small boxy "Casa Mila" icon is located on the map is where the organically curvy La Pedrera/Casa Mila really is.) The layout problem: normally with the Streetwise maps, you flip them over top to bottom to continue the map on the other side. But with the Barcelona map, you had to flip it side to side to get to the rest of the city, which was not conducive to continuity of the map. Overall I really love the Streetwise maps, they are so handy to carry and easy to use, and the laminating is a great feature. I trust that with the update of the Barcelona map they have corrected the problems I mentioned.
street map of Barcelona Jan 08, 2008
I bought this map for my son and his wife, as they are in Barcelona at this very moment on a vacation. They were very pleased with the map and I'm assuming it is helping them to get around very nicely, I will know more when they get back.
