Diving among the second-hand bookstores in Seville is an economic promise for avid readers: that of finding readings at affordable prices. There are those who reject the reuse of items to give them a second life and avoid disproportionate consumption. However, books are cultural goods that enrich by their content, not by their possession.
In short, going to these bibliophile corners to acquire second-hand books guarantees reading experiences in which you will not have to invest a lot of money. A sustainable consumption alternative that contributes to prolonging the romantic tradition of inheriting these shared stories. Second-hand, “de viejo”, antiquarian and second-hand bookstores: these are our favorites in Seville.
1. Boteros Bookstore
Few introductions are needed at Boteros bookstore, a careful chaos that annihilates haste and invites you to get lost among its catalog. Shelves that stretch to the ceiling and mountains of books dress the entire space with paper. In short, one of the best second-hand bookstores in Seville to let yourself be carried away by daydreaming, yes, at reasonable prices.
📍 c/ Boteros, 14
2. Baena Bookstore
When you penetrate a second-hand bookstore you soon start to acquire new qualities. Like accepting a basic principle of economics: to choose is to win and lose. Here you understand that you are not looking for anything in particular, that you will surely find something you did not expect and that the view does not cover because the books are crowded, hidden and dusty.
Getting lost, in any case, is an act of pure delight. The Baena bookstore is a small oasis of volumes, old books, magazines and who knows what other surprises. A charm that only adds to the charm of Feria Street.
📍 c/ Feria, 26
3. Quilombo Bookstore
In this bookstore they highlight the figure of the lancero/a: people who leave their books on deposit, getting 50% of the sale. The goal is to give a new life to books and, incidentally, reward those who decide to give their books. Among its goodness are those unstuck books that you won’t find anywhere else.
📍 Plaza del Pelícano, 8
4. Re-Read Bookstore
In the vicinity of the Setas de Sevilla, just a few steps away from one of the city’ s greatest literary temples, Reread offers a wide variety of titles at more than reasonable prices. One of the giants of the national book trade offers books for 3, 4, or 5 euros.
📍 c/ Tarifa, 3
5. Los terceros
Los Terceros might seem like a drawer where you’re as likely to find a book as you are to win the lottery, but you won’t. You’ll fall in love with its anarchic, vintage stamp. This antiquarian bookstore located in one of the most charming squares in Seville, is a diamond for obsolete editions, and books on the history of Seville and the history of America. Don’t hesitate to ask the bookseller, it will take no time at all to deliver any copy.
📍 Plaza de los terceros, 14
