The Mini Rough Guide to Madrid by Simon Baskett
A comprehensive, pocket-sized guide to Madrid with insider's reviews of everything from leading tourist attractions such as the Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen museums, to lesser known sights. Includes full and detailed critical listings for accommodation, restaurants, tapas bars, etc. Text boxes give background information on contemporary Madrid life, cultural idiosyncrasies and local tips. Detailed maps are fully cross-referenced with listings to pin-point each location. A chapter also covers day trips from Madrid to historic towns and sights, including Toledo, with its majestic Cathedral, faded grandeur of Segovia and Felipe II's vast monastery-palace, El Es.
Simon Baskett has lived and worked in Madrid for nine years, with his wife and young children. As well as updating the Rough Guide to Madrid, Simon does freelance travel and sports writing for the BBC, Reuters and Four Four Two magazine.
