«El Rastro» is the historical essay by María Isabel Gea Ortigas, published by Ediciones La Libreria in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
It investigates the origin of Madrid's Rastro and why it is called that: the slaughterhouses on Ribera de Curtidores and the trail of animals or of blood running down the street gave rise to the market. It gathers popular characters, anecdotes, old shops, taverns, breweries and inns, and the history of the names of its streets.
It is part of the 'Madrid de Bolsillo' collection, number 12. First edition published in March 2003.
For readers interested in the history of Madrid and the origin of its popular places and traditions.
