The homely bookshop sells used English language books, plus works in Spanish and French, but it’s also a place to hang out with a cup of tea or glass of wine
Ten years ago, when I first moved to Madrid, I bought my English-language books at a secondhand bookshop in dusty Calle Campomanes. Then life got busy and I opened an Amazon account.
