Andrew Barsch

Having recently relocated to San Francisco after more than a decade living la vida escrito in Madrid, writer Andrew Barsch enjoyed a brief siesta from his long-overdue novel to embark upon a tour of the scenic Spanish city he once called home. Architect and interior designer Andres Jaque lead the way, and, according to Barsch, reacclimation was a breeze: "Going to Madrid always brings it all back to me. There's this level of cosmopolitan energy that rejuvenates the mind from the moment you step out into the street."
