«Los porqués de Madrid» is the essay of curiosities by María Isabel Gea Ortigas, published by Ediciones La Libreria in paperback (276 pages, in Spanish).
The essay raises seemingly simple questions about well-known sights of Madrid —the coffin shape of the Teatro Real, the chimney opposite El Rastro, the plaque in Plaza de Ramales or the tubes on Calle de Cea Bermúdez— and turns them into little stories about the city's past.
The work is based on the non-commercial version of 2005 and the 2009 edition of the La Pequeña Biblioteca de Madrid collection, with a new format and illustrations.
For anyone interested in Madrid: residents who want to understand their city and travellers looking for something more than the usual tourist guide.
