COMING SOON...

Following on from the success and popularity of the Tapas Guidebook, we are pleased to announce the forthcoming release of two books you, the public, told us you wanted.
Gardens of Andalucia will tour both the public and private gardens of the region and will offer tips from experts and resident gardeners as to the best plants to grow in Andalucia. This will be the only book you need if you live in or visit the south of Spain and care about gardens.

Eat Granada will direct you towards the best restaurants in the province. Establishments aimed at every pocket and taste. Plush places for that special meal, the best locations for a good menu de la dia, some not to be missed tapas bars, the best places to eat that are just off the motorway and even those service stations on the autovias that serve food that is a cut above the rest.

EAT GRANADA

For those who prefer a full sit down meal to tapas, a new book detailing the best restaurants across the province of Granada will be published soon by Guiri Books. It will review the value for money restaurants to be found not just in Granada city, but in villages and towns outside of the city. There are some gems out there, they just need discovering. And we have done that job for you! Our extensive research has resulted in finding the tastiest, most consistent restaurants in which you can enjoy a meal. We feature each menu on offer, meet the owners and staff and offer you suggestions as to what to eat and drink in all the establishments. This will be no advertising driven book. No restaurant will "buy" its way into the pages of "Eat Granada." It is true that one man's meat is poison to another but we believe our personal, unannounced visits have unearthed some fine centres of culinary delight in Granada. Restaurants to suit all pockets and tastes. Stay tuned to www.guiribooks.blogspot.com for precise publication dates.
