A Hedonist's Guide to Madrid -  by Beverley Fearis
Paperback 180 pages (October 30, 2004); Publisher: Filmer Ltd
It is hard to find a city that lends itself more readily to the pursuit of hedonism than Madrid. Known as the party capital of Europe, it has a level of vibrancy and energy unparalleled in other cities, and this is largely because of the character of its people.
Visitors will be left wondering when theses crazy Madrilenos find time to sleep, or go to work. Indeed, no matter what night of the week, you'll find bars and restaurants bursting with people well into the early hours.
A Hedonist's guide to Madrid explores all the finest restaurants, bars, nightclubs, hotels and shopping. The beauifully designed little black book sets one apart from the rest of the tourists and helps the reader find the most interesting, stylish and exclusive spots in town. Beautiful photographs and concise, if somewhat irreverent, reviews helps one make the most of their weekend away.
