Can a city as well-known as Madrid hide secrets to reveal? From Lavapiés to Castellena, the capital has been portrayed a thousand times by photographers, painters, writers and Instagrammers. This city still has hidden traces, its Arab past that refuses to disappear, tram rails and the surprising journeys of water. This book aims to answer questions such as: What is behind the facade of number 13 Huertas streets? What does Valentine's Day have to do with the capital? o What are those rails that remain on the corner of Atocha Street? These and other questions are what trace a route full of history, curiosities, nuances and details through the unique and surprising Madrid that I fall in love with every day.
