978-1-78914-219-8 (ISBN)
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 cafés and bars. This is the story of a vibrant, energetic city, one that remains an enigma to many outsiders.
Helen Crisp (Author) Helen Crisp is a writer, editor and author with Jules Stewart of Madrid: Midnight City (Reaktion, 2021). Jules Stewart (Author) Jules Stewart is a New York-born, London-based author of many books including Gotham Rising: New York in the 1930s (2016) and Policing the Big Apple: The Story of the NYPD (Reaktion, 2021).
