Veteran travel writer
Darwin Porter
wrote the fi rst ever Frommer's guide to Spain. Back then it was called
Spain on a Day
, and it became an immediate best seller in the travel book business.
The only good thing about those dark days of the Franco era were the
hotel rooms, the . 50 paella dinners, and the 25ยข glasses of Rioja wine.
Spain has changed drastically since then, and the new
Frommer's Spain
has kept up with the developments. Porter was joined in 1982 by
Spanish-speaking
Danforth Prince,
formerly of the Paris bureau of the
New York Times.
Together, they have also written such Iberian guides as
Frommer's
Lisbon; Frommer's Barcelona; Frommer's Madrid;
and
Frommer's Seville, Granada & the Best of Andalusia.
