Don't get stuck eating tourist tapas in Madrid...
My travel guide will make your Madrid trip 100% local & unforgettable
(Or your money back ❤️)
I moved to Madrid 10 years ago. At first, I was disappointed. The city seemed impersonal. The food average. The waiters, unfriendly. 😬
But the problem wasn’t Madrid.
I kept exploring. I kept learning. I kept eating. And then it clicked.
This is one of the most incredible cities in the world. It’s a village. The food is mind-blowing. The waiters ARE a bit gruff. But now I appreciate their “way”. 😅
I wrote this e-book so you don’t spend 10 years falling in love with Madrid. It’s got everything you need to have a 100% local & unforgettable experience from day 1.

"Time is always a traveller's enemy — this guide, Madrid Revealed, makes sure that you focus on the good stuff not waste your valuable days on trying to crack the code"

"We've lived here for 3 years, but James was able to share great suggestions for sights to see and places to eat that we hadn't heard of. I wish we had this when we first arrived."
YOU DIDN'T COME TO MADRID FOR PIZZA 🍕
You can spend hours reading a million blogs, or scanning TripAdvisor to figure out what to do, visit and eat...
But you’ll –
1) waste hours in confusing research; and
2) be none the wiser by the end of it.
As I write this, the “best” restaurant in Madrid on TripAdvisor is a pizza joint!
The second “best”? A burger joint! 🤯
Too many blogs and guides are written by people who don’t live in a city. And TripAdvisor reviews are just totally out of whack.
One of my favourites tapas bars is (at the time of writing) #1,032 on TripAdvisor out of #9,976.
How would you FIND that place?
But if you do go I can guarantee you’ll have a local, memorable experience.
👇🏽But here’s the important part👇🏽
Of course Madrid Revealed tells you where to go (and where not to go). The best tapas bars, local shops, markets, museums.
But it also tells you how to visit these places like a local.
You’ll be able to walk into a hidden, family-run tapas bar, order wine, handle the tapas menu, and have an awesome evening like all those locals all are around you.
