In Travels through Prehistoric Spain, Jude Brown and Gary Lock provide a richly rewarding and deeply engaging exploration of Spain’s prehistoric heritage. Written with enthusiasm, knowledge, and genuine affection for both archaeology and the Spanish landscape, their book succeeds not only as a practical guide but also as an inspiring travel companion for anyone interested in ancient history and cultural discovery.
What makes the guide particularly appealing is the sense of personal experience woven throughout its pages. Rather than presenting dry archaeological summaries, the authors invite readers to share in more than 13 years of exploration across Spain’s diverse regions. Their passion for prehistoric monuments, remote landscapes, and adventurous travel shines through in every chapter.
Organised by region, the guide introduces readers to more than 200 prehistoric sites, ranging from painted rock shelters and ancient dwellings to burial monuments, museums, and even a prehistoric sauna. The selection reflects the authors’ practical approach: every site included is considered both accessible and worthwhile. This makes the book especially valuable for travellers who want meaningful experiences rather than an overwhelming catalogue of obscure locations.
