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.

Such a beautiful little store. Great to get a very unique souvenirs…. The streets are all tiled here in Madrid and the same family who make these classic tiles also makes these gifts. Nice way to remember your holiday here!!
