Madrid (Footprint Pocket Handbooks) Book

Mary-Ann Gallagher, a true Madrid enthusiast, uncovers the heart of Madrid, part of a new wave of European city destinations. It's got one of the most incredible art collections in the world, more parks and gardens than any other city in Europe, and a relentless nightlife that makes other major metropolitan areas look tired. Like the other guides in this new series from Footprint, this pocket-size handbook offers intelligent, concise, contemporary, and comprehensive travel facts in a fresh, stylish, and accessible format. It features area-by-area coverage of the city including hidden blues bars, neighborhood tapas bars, and the best spots for flamenco, as well as up-to-the-minute information on where to stay, eat, drink, shop, and go dancing. Also included are excursions to the historic towns of El Escorial, Toledo, Segovia, and Avila, and suggestions for hiking, biking, horseback-riding, and climbing in the Sierras. A ten-page two-color map section rounds out the text.Read More
