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.
