Comparing the Madrid of ‘La Luna,’ ‘Madrid Me Mata,’ ‘Madriz,’ and ‘El País’

This posting includes two maps, the first uses simple colour-coded markers to identify locations cited in each publication (legend included in visualizations). Each of Carto’s layers represents a single source/publication. The second map similarly uses colour-coded markers to identify data collected from Madriz, Madrid me mata, and La luna de Madrid, and a ‘heat map’ layer to identify locations cited in El País. The heat map helps us compare and contrast the geographical range of the former publications with the narrow scope of the latter.

Recent findings culled from events listings and advertisements include the following:

92 locations identified in Madriz
170 locations identified in Madrid me mata
221 locations identified in La luna de Madrid
13 locations identified in El País
Madriz, Madrid me mata and La luna de Madrid identify locations in central and suburban Madrid
El País identifies locations exclusively in the city center
Madriz, being State-supported includes a number of city-sponsored events, including religious music festivals that contrast rather shockingly with the often anti-religious sentiment and blasphemous culture of the Movida
