The Team

Secret Kingdoms was founded by Ango-Spanish couple David Price and Beatriz Fernandez in June 2022. They work alongside Filipa, Pierre, and Angela to provide the best service we possibly can. English and Spanish are always spoken, and at the right moment you can chat in Portuguese, French or even Arabic with us.

Activities and Events

We run regular book clubs each month, and host the Madrid Writers Group most Tuesday evenings, plus a regular Philosophy Group. Details of these activities are available in store.

We also hold regular Author events, with interviews, readings, signings, drinks and tapas. See our Agenda for any upcoming events.
