It is structured as a historical-topographical survey of the town and a series of walks starting at the Alcázar. The volume reproduces Pedro Texeira's 1656 map, which served as the author's guide.
The full subtitle is «paseos histórico-anecdóticos por las calles y casas de esta villa».
For readers interested in the history of Madrid, urbanism and travel narratives through the city.
