Those who know or follow me KNOW I never "blow my own horn", but found the "Rick Steves' Spain 2012" book lists MadridMan.com as a useful resource - on page 356:

Quote:
"Helpful Website: While not officially part of the TI (tourist information), www.MadridMan.com is run with passion by American Scott Martin (me! wave ) and offers tips on sightseeing, hotels, restaurants, and more."


I read that just yesterday/Saturday while standing in a Columbus, Ohio USA (just visiting) Barnes & Noble book store and, I have to admit, was a bit fluttery with pride. Wow. Rick Steves is like THE PREMIER travel expert here in the USA.

Thanks, Rick!! thumbsup

Saludos, MadridMan yeah

I was going to ask if he consulted you, but I guess not according to your post. He has a staff in Spain, but I suppose they didn't call you either. How wonderful! Congratulations.

Thanks, all! Nope. No contact was made before the listing. Besides, why in the world would I mind?!?!

Saludos, MadridMan

Just yesterday (10 January 2012), in his Rick Steves blog, he also mentions MadridMan.com in #3 under "Helpful Websites", listing it as "Madrid Spain Tourist Guide". yeah

He writes:
Quote:
I’m a personal fan of websites run by locals and expats passionate about sharing info on their hometown with travelers. These sites (such as Athens Survival Guide and Madrid Spain Tourist Guide), hosted by an enthusiastic local correspondence, are often very helpful.


So apparently, Rick Steves has also included MadridMan.com in his "Europe Through The Back Door 2012" guide as well. Can anyone confirm this by sight, please?

Saludos, MadridMan

Thank you, pedmar! That's very nice of you.

Regarding the "Europe Through The Back Door" book, now I'm thinking MadridMan.com will be included in the 2013 edition to be published in August. Can anyone confirm that MadridMan.com is also mentioned int eh 2012 edition, please? Thanks!

Saludos, MadridMan
