Spain's top city for tourism, Madrid attracts more than six million visitors a year. In this book, Helen Crisp and Jules Stewart not only place visitor attractions in their historical perspective, relating the story of a city and its people through the centuries, but they also offer carefully curated listings that give a nod to well-known attractions and sites, as well as hidden gems. Spain's political and art capital, with its "Golden Triangle" of museums and myriad art galleries, Madrid is also a city of dazzling nightlife, with a profusion of caf s and bars. Offering in-depth insight into the history of Madrid along with a view--from fiestas to football--into life in the city today, this is the story of a vibrant, energetic metropolis, one that remains an enigma to many outsiders.
