Discover Madrid as you have never seen it before. The Spanish capital is not just the everyday setting through which we move every day, but a fascinating mosaic of stories, art and traditions that deserves to be explored in detail.

With short literary snippets and carefully crafted illustrations, the work guides us through the city's emblematic corners. From Muslim and Christian Madrid to the splendors of the Habsburgs and Bourbons, passing through the Villa y Corte, it highlights sculptures, gardens, fountains, historic gates and centuries-old shops that shape its unique identity. It also broadens its horizons to nearby treasures such as Alcalá de Henares, Aranjuez, Chinchón and El Escorial. More than a guide, it is an open door to the rich heritage that Madrid and its surroundings have to offer, waiting to be rediscovered. Rediscover Madrid and be amazed by its best-kept secrets.
