The Unusual Travel Guides are the first printed guides to Madrid and Barcelona, featuring 400+ handpicked recommendations. From restaurants, bars, cafés, and pastry shops to museums, galleries, hotels, boutiques, and hidden gems—these guides reveal the city’s most authentic, non-touristy spots.
These guides are our tribute to both cities, because we love them equally and wouldn’t want to choose just one!
Travel is one of our greatest passions. For the past 15 years, we’ve taken the same route between Madrid and Barcelona every month—two cities we proudly call home. When people ask which one we prefer, our answer is always the same: both! These design guides are our way of showcasing what makes each city truly special.
CC/CityCurator is our urban coolhunting project and the creator of The Unusual Travel Guides, an independent editorial initiative by CC/Studio. Led by Cecilia Camacho—founder and creative director of CC/Magazine and CC/Studio—this project captures the essence of each city through a carefully curated selection.
