Pros: Barcelona in my pocket
Cons: limited information

Pocket Map and Guide Barcelona (Eyewitness Travel Guides) by DK Publishing is an excellent book providing all you want to see and enjoy in Barcelona if you are a visitor or aim to go there. It is the perfect size to carry along when sight-seeing in the city, but the print is actually large enough that you don't need a magnifying glass to read it. This guide is packed with all the necessary information on all the main sites, maps, and travel information in a concise manner without having to pay for a more expensive / comprehensive guide designed for longer visits.

This full color guide plus handy fold out map is a pocket-sized treat to guide you through the delights of Barcelona and it even has a small phrasebook in the back. They've really packed a lot of information into a totally portable guide...metro maps, dining, street maps - it's really adorable, actually!
