LOST OUR BOOK! How can we replace in Spain?

This bookstore chain carries Rick's guidebook on it's web site: http://www.bertrand.pt/ You might have a good shot at finding his books at their retail shop located in Lisbon: http://goo.gl/maps/du4r Here's a list of other bookstore around the city: http://lisbon.angloinfo.com/af/274/lisbon-books-and-bookshops.html

Maybe an E copy? Do you have a laptop/ipad or e-reader? Of course, it would all depend on being able to get to wi-fi. Some other guidebook? I know before I left for Ireland I had read my RS book a million times over, so while I would have felt a little lost without it, I could have picked up some other guidebook to help me remember which sites were priority, but again, we had our trip pretty well planned out. We didn't pay any attention to restaurant recommendations, and had lodging booked in advance. If you want something specific like some of his lodging recs, maybe people could post them here? Oh! I just remembered, when we picked up/dropped off our rental car, they had several shelves where people dumped guidebooks and maps for other travelers to use. There were definitely several RS books. I'm guessing hostels might have the same. You could pop into a few and check it out.

Bertrand Liveiros (name of the bookstore), Rua Anchieta (two blocks west of the Baixa / Chiado metro station) in Lisbon. Their website says they have them in english. If all else fails: revert to the Michelin Greens.

Good luck locating a book! But except for a very few exceptions, RS doesn't cover northern Spain, anyway. I bought the RS book before my first trip to Spain and ended up returning it to the store because there was not one word in it about any of the places I was going to see.

If you're staying in Rick-listed hotels, look for an old copy left there by previous travelers - we always seem worn out copies in recommended places.
