  Quotations
  When King Philip II made Madrid his capital in 1561, the taberna was already well established. The city's streets teemed with people—from lowlife and riffraff to cloaked royalty and aristocrats seeking anonymity in the crowds—and in the finest democratic tradition, all took part in the life of the tabernas.
