Historic Walking Guides: Madrid is the ultimate walking guide to both well-known and off-the-beaten path historic sites in Madrid. Its eight walks are organized by theme, such as historic mysteries, wine and historic taverns, artist's and writer's Madrid, medieval Madrid of Muslims, Christians, and Jews, early modern Hapsburg Madrid, Enlightenment Bourbon Madrid, and Belle Époque Madrid of the past century. Throughout all the walks, Bahrami infuses the guide with informative archaeological, historic, folkloric, and anecdotal information from conversations with longtime locals.

Using the Historic Walking Guides: Madrid, you can follow in the footsteps of Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Goya, Sorolla, and Hemingway, among many others, stop for a drink in one of their favorite cafes, sleuth through streets to solve unsolved mysteries and ghost stories, or relax with a taverns' tour while lunching in the world's oldest restaurant, happily located in Madrid.

Beebe Bahrami is a writer and cultural anthropologist who has dedicated over 24 years to researching and writing about Spain's rich and diverse prehistory, history, culture, food and wine, and spirituality. She considers Madrid her home away from home and has forged an intimate relationship with the city during the past two and a half decades.
