La Mistral

‍

Poet's Choice
Travesía del Arenal, 2

Andrea Stefanoni, after running a bookshop in Buenos Aires that National Geographic called the most beautiful in the world, came to Madrid and continued her legacy with the same standards. Inside La Mistral, you'll find one of the best collections in the city on the upper floor, and an intimate café downstairs that serves alfajores and dulce de leche.

Ivorypress

‍

Foster's Library

Librería Miguel Miranda

‍

The Literary Vault
Calle de Lope de Vega, 19

Librería Miguel Miranda is the purest expression of Madrid's literary soul, and it is hard to tell apart from the Hogwarts library. Located in the Barrio de las Letras, this antiquarian bookshop feels frozen in a time when paper and leather were the only guardians of knowledge, and it's the place to find that out-of-print title or a rare edition that has survived decades before reaching your hands.
