Madrid Travel Watercolours

"Madrid. Acuarelas de viaje" brings together more than 80 watercolours painted in the streets and gardens of Madrid by the Madrid-born Fernando Blasco over a period of more than five years.

These beautiful illustrations are accompanied by the inspired texts of Pepo Paz, who, through a series of itineraries that begin at Puerta del Sol, the "ground zero" of any tuRústica visit to Madrid, takes us on a journey through the history and urban planning of this city in which he lives, and under whose scrutinising gaze the evolution of its people, streets and squares, buildings, fountains, palaces and convents is unravelled.

Fernando Blasco's watercolours are a journey into the memory of Madrid and

reveal a city of unsuspected perspectives, full of exuberant architecture, hidden squares, evocative façades and monumental fountains,

his watercolours sketch a city in permanent transformation. Search for Madrid in Madrid. And to do so from the most ancient vestiges to the city of the 21st century,

a singular and daring task. A travelogue full of watercolours and anecdotes.
The book is structured in several chapters: El Madrid de los Austrias, Barrio de las Letras y Lavapiés, El Madrid ilustrado, De Cibeles a Moncloa, El Manzanares y la Casa de Campo, El Madrid moderno, Otros barrios, and concludes with a glossary describing the monuments and buildings that appear in the illustrations.<
