Stop by San Ginés Book Shop, a small corner stand in central Madrid. Look through tiled ceramics, coasters and a modest shelf of books for a distinctive local souvenir.
Full description
San Ginés Book Shop is a small corner stand in central Madrid on the site of an older library, mixing a limited number of books with tourist merchandise. Reviewers split on it: some enjoy the unique souvenirs, particularly the tile-style coasters and ceramics made by the family behind Madrid's classic street tiles, while others find it more of a photo stop than a true bookshop.
It is a quick, budget-friendly browse best treated as a souvenir stop rather than a literary destination.
