«Viejos oficios de Madrid» is the historical essay by Ángel del Río López, published by Ediciones La Librería in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The book evokes everyday life in old Madrid through trades that have disappeared: the night watchman with his pike, the aroma of roasted chestnuts heralding the arrival of winter, the washerwomen of the Manzanares. Anonymous figures who, through their daily work, wove the small history of the city.
Third edition of this title from the Madrid de Bolsillo collection, published in 2002; the work was originally issued in 1993.
Recommended for readers aged 15 and up, especially those interested in the history, customs and traditional life of Madrid.
