Frommer's Madrid Day by Day (Frommer's Day by Day - Pocket) Review
I have been traveling to Madrid for years on and off and know the city well. But I have struggled to find a decent guide that covers all the ground. Some, like Lonely Planet have good maps but are superficial on museums, culture and dreadful when it comes to restaurants. Others stress culture or eating out but are thin on practicalities.
This is the only book I have found which covered the ground. And it's down to the author who writes clearly and wittily, has good taste in food and hotels and is clearly a genuine authority on Spain rather than a person shipped in to do a quick job.

An Excellent Guidebook for Madrid - C. Seaman -
I will be spending a few days in Madrid later this year and want to make the best use of limited available time. This compact book (which easily can fit in a pocket) has suggested itineraries for one, two, or three day visits along with sufficient information for individual planning. Should be a major help during my brief visit.

This book will take you to major sites, off the beaten path, to tourist attractions, local hangouts and everything in between. Don't waste your money or break your shoulder carrying around an expensive and heavy guidebook.
