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.

I came in here by accident but it was such a cute locally owned bookstore!
There’s a second floor that has a nice little reading nook for 2 people. There are some ledges that are nicely taped with warning tape so you don’t trip. The staff are nice and pointed me in the direction of the bookstore I meant to go to find my friend.

Nice 2 story bookstore. Mostly Spanish books, naturally, but they do have a couple of book cases with other languages like English and French. We were able to find a couple of good crime books for the vacation.
