Have you ever wondered if there is some book that is set in your city From birth or in that city, how well received did you get when you moved to it? I asked myself that question when the saga of La Sombra del Viento by Carlos Ruiz Zafón was born, how well and with so much detail it described the Gothic Barcelona that many of us have had the pleasure of walking through.
In this article we reveal this question to you (just in case you have it). These are novels set in the 2.000st century, that is, those that have been published from the year XNUMX onwards. So forget that great classics like the one appear here "Don Quixote of La Mancha" o "The Regent". This article will help all of us not only to get to know perhaps those undiscovered corners of our city but will also bring us works that we did not even know existed. Enjoy it!

What do you think of these books? Did you know the one that is inspired or set in your city of origin? In my case, it is "El rastro de su voz" by Antonio J. Sánchez, a book totally unknown to me that, thanks to this discovery, I will bond very soon.
As you can see, authors like Dolores Redondo or Arturo Pérez-Reverte repeat themselves on two or more occasions ...

Voucher; but the one in Bilbao is very bad. Not because of the story, which is passable. He has errors in correction: "in the smell of crowds" a couple of times, if I remember correctly; and expressions in Basque that were not written or said in Bilbao in the years that the story passes. And it is clear that the author has done a good job of documentation.
The expression "in the smell of crowds" is correct.
I think it is the praise of crowds as I have heard, although everyone says in the smell of crowds, that it is actually an armpit.
It is one thing that they have been published from the year 2000 and another is that they are set in the XNUMXst century. The siege or A Day of Cholera are far from being tales of current times.
The cover of Valladolid does not correspond to that of Memento Mori.
Wow. In Cáceres I would have opted for 'Los mundos de Ravenholdt', by the writer Juanma Hinojal
In the list, I don't see the one from Huesca. Yes in the drawing of the map, but I can't enlarge it and I don't know what it is.
The yellow rain of Julio Llamazares
Burgos cannot be better! Fantastic Esquivias !!!
It is a beautiful idea. Let's see if you dare to make the map of Europe,
