Product Description
Book Description
The definitive guide to the Spanish capital
Product Description
In 2007 Madrid emerges from several years under wraps to reveal its new facelift. Streets have been prettified, boulevards swept through and transport untangled. This in addition to its perennial attractions, whether your interests lie in spectacular opera productions or chirpy folkloric zarzuela; in cutting-edge cuisine or ancient, tiled tabernas; in designer-shoe shopping or mooching around flea markets.
Put together by journalists resident in the city, Time Out Madrid also covers the artistic jewels housed in the Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofia, as well as the etiquette of watching a bullfight or joining in with a flamenco performance, plus where to stay and how to escape the city heat.

Format:Paperback
The guide is good and reviews of the places we visited were generally on the money. Absence of 5* rating is because this doesn't have the same sparkle of some of the other Time Out guides I've used where you get a clear sense that the authors are hip and have a finger on the city's pulse.
Format:Paperback
Really very good - did us extremely well in October 2010 - until we put it down in a park in the centre of town and someone else clearly thought it looked useful too! Recommended.

I think this book was Bheery Good. Having previously bought a Lonely Planet to Morocco and believing this to be junk, I was recommended this Time Out guide. Junk it is not. Thankings
