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.
