Barcelona InsideOut by Where Travel

If you are a traveller like me I have a gem for you! In just 8 weeks I will be leaving for Barcelona, Spain so when I was looking a small, but handy guide with some great city maps in it, I came across "Barcelona InsideOut" by Where Travel. The "Barcelona InsideOut" guide is a pocket-size travel book, which comes complete with two PopOut maps, itinerary suggestions, places to see, shop, play, eat, as well as insider information on getting around town. Due to the size , you may also consider a normal travel guide book because the amount of information in this book is small, but I bought for the mainly for the maps. The Barcelona InsideOut Guide has a small built-in compass right on the spin of it. Inside when you open it, there is also a small pen with LED light! But the main reason why I picked it up ware the PopOut maps. First of all when you traveling alone, you always try to blend in as much as possible with the locals so you are not putting a big target on your back: "Hey I am  a tourist with valuables, money and no much of foreign language skills so feel free to rob me". Having a small size map which unfolds very discreetly in the middle of the street is a real gem, you are not drawing much attention to yourself. Plus the whole booklet is small enough to fit in the your jeans pocket. I hope they will make those for many more destinations. The only one I found the store was for Barcelona, the place I am off next... ISBN 978-0-7627-4729-0 available online via Amazon.com
