Among the philosophy and literature volumes, you’ll find tango books and a diverse selection of Latin American music, from rock nacional (Argentine rock) to Brazilian samba.

Boutique del Libro
Take a break from all that shopping at this little sanctuary, and glance through a book or two. If you don’t read Spanish there are a couple of shelves with quality English titles, and the café in back (with cute outside patio) is a perfect excuse for a sit-down.
