Calle Claudio Moyano

4.7 ·

Wander Calle Claudio Moyano, a leafy Retiro street of secondhand booksellers. Browse shelves of old and used books beneath the trees, then continue into the neighbouring botanical garden.

📖

Full description

Calle Claudio Moyano is a quiet, tree-lined street in the Retiro area where small stalls and shops sell old and used books. It sits just below the Real Jardín Botánico and faces a palatial 19th-century ministry building, so the setting is as much a draw as the shopping.

Reviewers describe it as romantic, tucked away and good for finding gems, and it pairs naturally with a walk through the nearby park. The street is open at all hours, though the bookstalls keep their own trading times.

Allow about 45 minutes.

Reviews

A wonderful street for a walk, not so big but very romantic and tucked away with a wonderful tree line and surroundings.
