  Timed to coincide with the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and the Seville Expo '92, this guide to Spain's two major cities also includes a mini-guide to Seville. A review of contemporary and historical Spain is followed by city guides to Barcelona and Madrid, with practical information, walks, descriptions of sights, reviews of hotels and restaurants, a feature on tapas, a guide to fashionable cafe life, nightlife, the arts and shopping, a gazetteer of street names and sections on sports and children's activities. A similar, condensed treatment is given to the supplement on Seville. Suggested driving tours cover Catalonia, Castille, Leon and Andalucia, with recommendations for hotels and restaurants. Additional features deal with bullfighting, Spanish wines, language and menus.
