Publisher's Synopsis
Spain is happening. Surprised? The New York Times Magazine calls Spain "the new France." Charlie Trotter says "Spain is where the zeitgeist has shifted." In fact, travel to Spain has tripled in two years (52 million came in 2002), making it the second-most popular tourist destination in the world.
Featuring hundreds of full-color photographs, 365 Days in Spain is a vivid tour of twelve dynamic regions led by Penelope Casas, one of America's foremost writers on the subject of Spanish food, travel, and culture. She is the author of Discovering Spain: An Uncommon Guide and four bestselling cookbooks, and is a recipient of the Spanish government's National Prize of Gastronomy. From the arts (Pedro Almodóvar films, the Prado museum, Gaudì's whimsical architecture) to the food (whether it's tapas or the gourmet creations of famed three-star chef Ferrán), Spain's time has come!
