Get an insider's view on Madrid Rome Palermo and find out more about Warsaw Prague and what is in Azerbaijan. There will be information on culture sights history -- but most of all there will be the people Meare finds along the way often the most memorable things about her trips. You'll laugh discover things about places you might never go to or which have changed beyond recognition since then. You'll also find out about some of the world's most beautiful spots. Just don't expect this book to teach you how to travel for less...
