Published in 2008, it is part of the Biblioteca de Madrid series. The subtitle of the work is «Formas de vida en el Siglo de Oro». The content is based on documentary sources.
Recommended for readers interested in the social history of Madrid and the lives of the anonymous figures of the Golden Age.
