Famed for its wild nights and lazy days, Madrid provides a whole lot more: spectacular opera productions and chirpy folkloric zarzuela; cutting-edge cuisine and ancient, tiled tabernas; designer shoe shopping and strolling around flea markets. Written by resident journalists, Time Out Madrid also covers the artistic jewels housed in the Prado, Thyssen, and Reina Sofia, as well as the etiquette of watching a bullfight or joining in with a flamenco performance. Special sections of this seventh edition include "In the Frame" (the intriguing stories behind some of the city's best-known paintings), "Sophisticated Snacking" (where to find gourmet tapas and wine-lists to match), "Winding Down" (detailing the yoga centers, spas, and Turkish baths), and "Up, Up and Away" (climbing, skiing, and hang-gliding within reach of the city).

Time Out Madrid
This was a truly absorbing book. A debt goes to Francisco Rivera Ordonez, as well, for allowing a writer to join his entourage.
Lewine gives us an appreciation for this art by taking us into the life not just any matador, but one who wears the mantle of his fathers.
We learn about how the crowds vary from city to city, how the bulls are bred and selected, the attitude of the "bull press", the history of the game. We learn how to appreciate the matador's movements and about the nature and of his entourage. We learn about costumes, the genteel way to buy scalped tickets and how to run with the bulls in Pomploma and much more.
Pictures would have been great, but the writing is so good they're not missed until the book is over. I went to Francisco's web site where there are lots of photos, small and unlabeled, but many you can figure out.
Through the writer's respect for the matador, and Fran in particular, the reader learns respect as well.
OLE!
