马德里是一个被改造了的城市。在经过了经济危机的刺激和新一代国民的决心改革使得西班牙首都马德里越变越好。传统和现代化的结合使其茁壮发展,你会在惊叹普拉多博物馆内的古老杰作的同时也会喜欢上新一波大厨师制作的奢华美食。

在饱览美食之后，要保留足够的能量到城市中的酒吧，剧院和俱乐部尽情得寻找和融入到这让人迷离的不夜城的欢乐当中去。事实上，当地人的喜欢享受每日好时光的特性是不过辩驳的，而Monocle团队的**挑战是让你自然而然的去邂逅，而不是牵强的去接受他们这种带传染性的开朗气质。尽情地去感受这座城市吧，当地的居民会非常感谢和欢迎喜欢玩乐的你到来。

Monocle --the magazine that covers urbanism and city design like no other --knows about the hidden gems in all the great cities. It also knows where to take an ambassador for breakfast, an on-the-go business partner for a late-night cocktail, or where to get an astute concierge at ungodly hours. Its deep understanding of cities, and all they have to offer, has now been compiled in The Monocle Travel Guide Series. The series launched in spring 2015 with editions for London, New York, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. This autumn they will be joined by Singapore, Istanbul, Madrid, and Portland, Oregon. These beautiful informative books reveal the Monocle team's favorite places, from the ideal route for an early morning run to the best spots for independent retail. Aimed at people who do not want to be tourists but rather feel like locals when they travel, these are books for those who want to mix the classic with the contemporary, want to get beyond the clichés, and know they can get a feel for a city even if they only have a few days to spare. And they are full of surprises and quirks: the books will direct you to a grand hotel but also to a cozy two-star, and will leave you drinking in a neighborhood corner bar or being served by a great waiter who knows his craft. Each book also contains a series of city essays and perspectives. Created by the Monocle design team, these authoritative guides are trim enough to drop into your pocket and wise enough to stay by your side throughout your travels.
