Summer ‘24 Madrid

Setting out into the great big world with faith in your omnipotence is arrogant, and will prevent one from learning about the world which we'd be lucky to see a speck of in a lifetime. Only by truly living as a visitor, humbly open, can we learn and be changed. After all, what are we if not visitors?

This is the kind of mentality I learned to embody abroad, and por suerte or maybe causation I found many others also possessing an appreciation for the unknown. During my time in NYU Madrid this summer, I was very fortunate to be able to spearhead the Baedeker Madrid location. I was even more fortunate to have met the creative, observative, and wise artists here in Madrid who were able to pull off creating a magazine in such a short time frame.

Through our photography, writing, and design, we strived to not only represent the feeling of Madrid, but also give tips and advice to those wishing to visit or live here in the future. All we ask, dear viewer, is to take our recommendations in stride, heed our warnings graciously, and enjoy knowing that behind each photo and printed word lies a beautiful memory. Encantado.
