With Madrid expert Cristina Carrillo de Albornoz as guide, the city's who's who have opened their doors to give a glimpse into their daily lives. The golden light that seems to envelop the city in warmth is impeccably captured through the lens of Oliver Pilcher and his original photography for this book. A celebration of cultural expression, gastronomy and architecture, the beautiful book invites you to explore the vibrancy of the Spanish way of life.

From the great aristocracy such as the Duke of Alba to the best young artists such as Sandra Rojo Picón, Madrid Chic takes readers on a journey through the city's most fascinating sites, immersing them in its vibrant spirit and renewed energy.
