Reise-Taschenbuch Reiseführer Madrid & Umgebung

About the Book

In addition to all the grand art museums, historic monuments, bustling city boulevards, and shopping streets, there is another Madrid. The Madrid of an alternative, tolerant scene in the charming old town districts of Lavapiés, Huertas, Chueca, or Malasaña. The Madrid of quiet corners for personal discovery, whether in the Botanical Garden, the parks along the Manzanares River, a traditional market hall, or a secluded alley in the old town. The Madrid of culture-loving night owls who flock to concerts or theater performances in the old slaughterhouses by the Manzanares. And there is the surrounding area with medieval towns rich in museums, magnificent royal palaces, and solitary mountains. It is worth embarking on a new adventure of discovery every day in the Spanish metropolis.
