Perfect preview if considering a visit to Spain or Portugal

"It is indispensible to see what to expect on a visit to Spain and/or Portugal. Since the Travel Videos cover 2000 to 2007 you can also see how things end to change over time in Spain. These are my favorite Spain and Portugal travelogues."
Excellent gift.

"I bought this for my son who was going to Spain. He tells me that RS books are the best thing he has seen for touring. (He spent a summer as a student in Europe and has traveled to Japan, England, Amsterdam, etc. on business.) His fiancee speaks Spanish and was able to ask locals where they should go. The best advice they got was from Steves' book. It made their trip much more enjoyable. In the future, whenever he (and I) travel, he will have a recent Steves book to guide him to local highlights and to get the most out of his travel dollar."
DVD with Caution for JHS

"I love Rick Steves and bought this dvd to update the old vhs tapes I used in my Spanish class. As a Junior High Teacher, I was dismayed that nearly all the paintings shown from the Prado were nudes. Sigh. My students just aren't mature enough to handle that so I stop the dvd after the visit to Parque Retiro. Rick must not realize how many teachers use his products or hasn't spent much time around pre teens and teenagers. I don't need their reactions or the parental phone calls. Otherwise it would be a five star product."
