Do not waste your money!
This Guide to Madrid looks appealing and I set off with it for a few days in Madrid.It has a confusing layout which necessitates much to-ing and fro-ing. This design fault was rendered a horror by the fact that NONE of the pages cross-referenced and which I used turned out to be correct. It had me shouting aloud with frustration as I tried to find my way around the book and the information I needed.I can only assume this is a new edition (2007) which has neither had the page references adjusted nor been proof-read. I also tried a so-called 'guided walk' and got lost. On checking with a map it was not my fault but on the ground the 'guide' was inaccurate. Hard to countenance a publishing house letting this go out.I have not reviewed a book before but I could not let this go without sharing my experience.
Don't waste your money. Buy something else and enjoy Madrid.
