  very good July 27, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This map is excellent because it can get wet and be folded in every way, it will not brake, because of it's material. It misses a metro map, though, but you can get one for free in many places in Barcelona, so it's not a problem.
  Wonderfully Useful Map November 10, 2006 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
My wife and I spent 6 days in Barcelona and this map was great. While many teensy streets are not shown (including the one where we rented an apartment), to do so would probably expand the size of the map to the size of a barn.
As it is, we navigated our way around perfectly with the map in hand. It shows the Old City in expanded view, details the subway system, includes outlying areas like Parc Guell, clearly labels and demarcates all the attractions and was indispensable.
Best of all, it has a rain-shedding coating that allowed me to fold and refold and bend and generally torture the map endlessly and it's still in excellent condition and can probably be used for another 3 trips.
Get it! You won't regret this purchase.
  Barcelona, The Rough Guide Map November 9, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Rough Guide plastic waterproof map series provides a durable and easy-to-read product. The Barcelona map depicts different geographic areas at various scales, supplemented by not only an excellent street index but also recommendations for shopping, eating, drinking, venues and hotels. All in all, an outstanding pocket guide to facinating Barcelona.
  I used this map for two weeks... April 28, 2005 31 out of 32 found this review helpful
I used this map daily during a two week stay in Barcelona. It was indespensible.
The Rough Guide map has a number of nice features. It shows the location of many locations of interest. Not only the standard tourists sites, but resturants and hotels. The map is also accurate and detailed.
The sterling feature of this map is that it is printed on tough material (some kind of plastic). So it could survive two weeks of being folded and unfolded without ripping. The durability of the Rough Guide maps is a huge selling point and I recommend them for any destination, not just Barcelona.
The only thing that the map is missing is a map of the Metro which is the primary way to get around Barcelona. However, free maps are available at the offices that sell tickets at the major metro stations.
