Overview
Discover Madrid through the eyes of Charlotte Bergan Cioli as she rediscovers it for herself. Her home for two years, she invites you to join her on a journey through the places and spaces that have made her welcome and proud to call the city home.
Move from Thursday to Sunday through bookshops, markets, and museums; from morning coffee on a rooftop terrace to tapas in a taverna; from waterlilies in the park to fine art in the Museo National Thyssen. Madrid is full of life, and invites you to share in it.
The Weekender Madrid is a book dedicated to rediscovering the city through the eyes of an adopted local. Charlotte Bergan Cioli moved to Madrid two years ago and is effusive about its finer points in the way of all converts. The trajectory of the book over a long weekend is her love letter to the city; checking back into a hotel as if a tourist and exploring the places that she has returned to again and again, with a fresh eye and the lens of her camera.
“Warm, elegant, friendly, and always full of life”: this journey is not a checklist of monuments but an invitation to find a place for Madrid in your heart, too. Join her in a journey through reclaimed spaces, tiny independent shops and heritage buildings, curated artworks and found facades, stumbled upon in a wander through Spain’s vibrant capital city.
