A tower floating on the water; a piece of the moon in Madrid, the world’s first 3D pedestrian bridge, a Brutalist church, a gas station that looks like it belongs in a science fiction movie, the unknown tunnel of Bonaparte, one of the most original water cisterns in Europe, the highest chapel in the world, the king who made Madrid the capital of Armenia, the smell of apples emanating from the incorrupt body of the Blessed Mariana de Jesús; masonic symbols in the Athenaeum and in the green corridor … Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, Madrid is a reserve of well-concealed treasures that only reveal themselves to those residents or visitors who wander off the beaten track. An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew Madrid well, or those who would like to discover the hidden face of the city.
