Cardiff Soul: An Underground Guide to the City by Colin Palfrey

Cardiff Soul leads you into a subterranean city, around its arcades, from clubs to casinos, market traders to toilets. Get upbeat with a Samba or a Steel band, and if you like your wardrobe overstated, get a little voyeuristic at the Mardi Gras. This alternative, intimate guide to Cardiff shows a city proud of its culture, its art and even its toilets. Written by a native Cardiffian, it reveals a real city that is absent from official guidebooks.
