  Mary-Ann Gallagher, a true Madrid enthusiast, gets under the skin of Madrid, a city that doesn't do things by halves, in this travel guide. Madrid has one of the most incredible art collections in the world, more parks and gardens than any other city in Europe and a relentless nightlife which makes other capitals look tired. This guide provides area-by-area coverage of the city, including hidden blues bars, neighbourhood tapas bars and what's going on in the flamenco scene, plus excursions to the historic towns of El Escorial, Toledo, Segovia and Avila. It also features walking, horse-riding, biking and climbing in the Sierras. There is information on where to stay, from hotels to hostels and camping, where to eat and drink, where to shop and what to buy. Madrid's ever lively nightlife scene is well covered with all the details of bars, clubs and dance venues.
