Barcelona, a photo a day

The golden ant


La Formiga d’ or, or golden ant, is one of the nicer bookshops in town. We just love the place, being giant bookworms. There are 2 of them in town, one in the cathedral’s cloister, and one nearby. Both have a very medieval feel. What’s your favorite bookshop like?

  13. Other than Shakespeare & Co in Paris, my favorite would be Taylor Books in Charleston, West Virginia. It is a bookstore filled with interesting books of many genres, has an art gallery, a terrace for tea, and a coffee bar. On Friday nights, the place is full with live jazz and wine.

  14. This book shop looks great, I used to like Borders before they closed down, they had everything in there plus a cafe. There's quite a few little arty bookshops around Perth that are fun to explore.
