About the neighbourhood: Distrito Centro
Málaga's historic core, bounded by the Guadalmedina river to the west, the port to the south and the slopes of Mount Gibralfaro to the east. The district contains the Cathedral, the Roman Theatre, the Alcazaba fortress, the Picasso Museum and the Pompidou Centre, plus the main shopping street Calle Marqués de Larios. Inside Distrito Centro sit the well-known sub-areas of Centro Histórico, Soho, La Merced and Lagunillas. The area is almost entirely pedestrianised, served by Metro Atarazanas and the Málaga–Centro Alameda rail station.

A true treasure for lovers of antique books. Every corner of this antiquarian bookstore holds stories, unique editions, and exquisite attention to detail. The service is friendly and expert; their passion for literature and history is evident. Returning here is like stepping back in time.
The service is fantastic. I was there a few years ago and I've returned looking for a book that was proving quite difficult to find. Besides being very kind, they facilitated the shipping and I received it in Madrid in just two days. It's always a pleasure to return! I definitely recommend it.
A bookstore with soul. It's not just a place to buy books, but to discover forgotten gems. The knowledge of both Antonio, father and son, is impressive, and they are always willing to guide you and share fascinating anecdotes about each book.
