All Madrid Travel and Holiday Guide Blog

I came across this news about a Spanish Hotel which put up a mini library from books left by guests.

So many things, from chargers to books, had been left by hurrying guest as they catch up flights or train schedules in this hotel. As the books compilation grew it was then stored in a small vitrine, idea of the sales manager. That is the birth of a 250-book library from forgotten books of the guest.

The compilation includes travel guides, novels, and books in English, magazines with pictures of Carl Peterson, and small booklets in Japanese, Spanish, Dutch, English and many more languages.

The variety of languages attests to the diversity of visitors that travel to Madrid. The miscellaneous collection includes cookbooks with conventional Roman recipes, a title or label of Michael Jackson’s dance steps, a journal of Jose Ortega Cano- a Spanish Bullfighter, handbooks for herbal and natural remedies.

Yet, the book that got the most interest from visitors is the Spanish texts of Book of Mormon (Latter Day Saints’ sacred book).

And that now, as the library gain popularity guests intentionally leave behind books to add up to the collection.

This is just one of the many now known whispered secrets of hotels in Madrid, Spain. Secrets that can be revealed if we try to uncover it!
