I've been a reader and writer for, well, many years, and hands down this is the best book store I…read morehave ever been to, anywhere. They have the most unusual, worthwhile, amazing books--not only in the bindings and illustrations, but in the subject matter, rareity, etc. I picked up an illustrated guide to 19th century illnesses, it is gorgeous, three chapbook style poetry books of "micro poems" in Spanish that are hilarious and irreverent (probably my two favorite descriptors in life), and an amazing illustrated copy of Alessandro Baricco's "Silk" in Spanish (Seda). Incredible. It made my trip to Madrid completely worthwhile. Another worthwhile mention is the graphic novel style biography of Egon Schiele I spotted!

I walked in the the shop, there was just so many different kind of comic inside. From local comics to comics from marvel or DC, even they got manga here. I picked up one or two books to have a quick look. Too bad I don't understand much Spanish. Pity. Well, maybe one day I can read it. I pretty sure they got a English corner somewhere. There in other room with a long table there. It seem like they holds classes or events sometime here well. At the back got the action figure area. Sweet. I am glad that I discovered this place during my trip. It was great to see a local comic shop.

Just visited this estanco last month and it was sold during the pandemic by I believe his name is…read moreJesus. He was the older man who is a cigar enthusiast and managed the walk in humidor next door to the estanco. What this meant to the business is that the humidor next door is no longer open. The young lady who was working the day I visited was extremely nice and helpful. This was one of the reasons for four stars plus the store still has a well maintained and stocked cabinet humidor with a good selection of Habanos. I would recommend either Cava Magallanes or Cava Barquillo but if you are in this part of Madrid it is still a good option for cigars.

His phone connector stopped working and he took responsibilty to go the Plaza Rio2 with his S8+ in tow to get an adult here to help him.

He was told for a refund he needed an adult. Now he needed an adult? I guess profit has no age, only refund. I left work to go with him, manager refused provide her name and Mario handled her proxy refusing to provide her name or any reference for the staff we dealt with. Though she signed the consumer complaint report, after stating the law in Spain does not protect customers if they opened box. HOW DOES ONE KNOW IF THEIR PRODUCT WORKS AFTER BEING SOLD SOMETHING INAPPROPRIATE ANYWAY? When I asked what she'd feel like if this was her child she agreed she'd doesn't care she's there to get paid!

But...there's just so much stuff, and it's all in one place. Spread across multiple floors of books, DVDs, comics, music, stationary and electronics, this place was a paradise for me. I could have lived in the little reading area between the books and music section quite happily. Prices are decent enough, roughly in line with the high street. But it's really just a joy to wander around. Located in the bustling Sol shopping district, it's a great spot for gifts for the discerning nerd in your life.

While this is still a big pet of their business which includes a gaming area in the back which holds up to 70 people and frequents card games, they have moved into Board Games and will do game release nights too. Their Spanish board game selection is impressive and a huge development for the Spanish gaming community to now have these new and classic board games in Spanish. Their games range from small card games like Avalon and Coup, to various versions of Sherlock Holmes, and Arkham Horror, and Star Trek Catalan, and risk. The guys working were helpful and happy to discuss the gaming industry and their part in it, including the development of independent games being crowd funded and how they are dealing with that. If you have any interest in games they should be top of your list!
