Product Description

"'Time Out has the best written city guides.' Sunday Telegraph"
Product Description
Famed throughout Europe for its wild nights and lazy days, Madrid provides a whole lot more, 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, as well as 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
