Gets bad reviews. Won't know until I get there, but there seem to be too many generalizatons based on her personal opinions. (**)

Concise and covers a broad range of topics. BUT: the Amazon information on this book is wrong--it's for another book. (****)
Chris Stewart: Driving Over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalucia
By a British guy who bought a run-down farm in Spain. Amusing and interesting, with a good introduction to regular people and their customs. (****)
Nancy King: Host Family Survival Kit : A Guide for American Host Families
Good for parents and outbound students, too, even if you're not going to be a host family. Lots of information on what to expect, with emphasis on anticipating and understanding cultural differences. Includes a suggested reading list, too. (****)
Bill Bryson: Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe
Bill Bryson--that's all you need to know. Not exactly Spain, but Europe is close enough. I'd stand in line to buy a phone book if it was written by Bill Bryson. (*****)
