Nola
★★★★★9 months agoIt's quaint. It's cute. It's well stocked. It's cozy. It's a great place to get lost in. There was this wonderful, sweet lignin scent that lingeredin the air when you entered...I practically touched half of the books on each shelf,in each section just to take it all in. Staff was kind and engaging. Definitely one of the better bookstores in Madrid.
