El Barrio de las letras is Madrid's literary district, full of history and paved with words of great Spanish authors... Literally. Felicity Hughes, writer for the new Lonely Planet Madrid tour guides, has just written a book all about the neighbourhood explaining its history and its authors. She joins us in the studio, along with David Price, English bookshop owner in the barrio. So, today's broadcast is a bookish one, as it coincides with World Book Day, which is also the anniversary of Miguel de Cervantes' death.
