Spain's top city for tourism, Madrid attracts more than six million visitors a year. Helen Crisp and Jules Stewart relate the story of a city and its people through the centuries, while their carefully curated listings give a nod to well-known attractions and sights, as well as hidden gems. Spain's art capital, with its `Golden Triangle' of museums and myriad art galleries, Madrid is also a city of dazzling nightlife, with a profusion of cafes and bars. This is the story of a vibrant, energetic city, one that remains an enigma to many outsiders.

She has been exploring the hidden corners and backstreets, and the little-known shops, galleries and museums of Madrid for more than 25 years. Jules Stewart (Author) Jules Stewart is a journalist and author of many books including Madrid: The History (2011) and Madrid: A Literary Guide for Travellers (2018).
