Lines: 16 Suggest you run to your nearest bookstore and pick up a copy of James Mitchner's "Iberia". Yes, Mitchner. One of the most fascinating books I have ever read. It is nothing more than a collection of articles about Mitchner's travels around Spain. It is chock full of out of the way places, including architecture, history, local lore, and places to stay. Mitchner spent many years traveling in Spain and has put together all of his reflections and happenings in one damn good travelouge. His descriptions of the towns and villages is masterful and made me want to pack my bags right away. He does very little with the big cities and tourist traps, but does a lot with real Spain beyond the tour bus window. I have given this book to others who were going to Spain and they all were ecstatic over the things they were able to do and see in that country. T. C. Wheeler
