Hard-core readers and dreamy spirits will find oasis of tranquility crossing the threshold of the best bookstores in Seville. In recent years, we have seen the emergence of living spaces devoted to books in Seville, which, far from reducing their work to the sale of manuscripts, offer a wide range of leisure activities for all ages.
Some circumscribe the concept of the modern bookstore that has become established in corners of the planet. They may follow in the footsteps of “Shakespeare & Co” in Paris, “Atlantis Books” in Santorini or the “Lello bookstore” in Porto for their beauty. But they are fully committed to culture from the beginning the neighborhoods as beacons of resistance and debate.
These are our favorites, the best bookstores in Seville that brings together literature, theater, cafes and even art pieces that the customer can purchase.
1. House taken
In this fateful context that bookstores in Seville are going through, we are grateful that Casa Tomada continues to be a refuge for readers. Puerta Osario houses this treasure dedicated to books that offers a rich catalog of cultural events.
Literary workshops of various kinds, initial creative writing and courses for the most experienced writers or its next express proposal by Greta Garc铆a (May 8) to free writing clubs. Nothing to envy to the centers of the big cities, a literary satellite to keep in the city.
