My Linquaphone course
Do you like Spain? = Le gusta España?

Yet using an on line translation [translation.babylon.com]

Le gusta España? = He likes Spain?
Te gusta España? = Do you like Spain?

Seems like an error in the book!

No, there is not any error, but please do not use online translators. They do not really help. :)

"Le" here is refering to "usted", which is a formal and respectful way to address a person. "Usted" is a you that is conjugated with third person singular.

Take a look here (http://forums.tomisimo.org/showthread.php?t=11423) for a discussion on the use of this pronoun.

Muddying the waters a bit, the online translator had to make a guess about which of the third-person subject pronouns to use in the translation. Besides the formal 'you', the other third-person pronouns are 'he', 'she' or 'it'.
The Spanish pronoun 'le' is a third-person indirect object pronoun and can only be understood as 'you' in context. :)
