Librería Desnivel

Librería Desnivel: authentic bookshop in Madrid focused on travel, mountains and adventure

Librería Desnivel is located in an iconic building in Madrid, which is already a bookshop since 1898. This makes it the oldest bookstore in the country. Librería Desnivel took over in 1998 and continues cherishing the history of this place, and adding an innovative side.

The specialization of the shop is mountains, nature, travel, sports and adventure. You’ll find books, maps, guides and more on these and related topics, a real reference in this field. But Librería Desnivel is much more than a shop. It’s been turned into a cultural center, a place where talks, events and meetings are organized, where people can get to know the deeper story about a book, can join a talk, or meet authorities in the fields of travels and mountains, for instance.

It’s one of those places that inspires, with a huge selection of books and more, making you want to go on a journey straight away. A book shop, but also a cultural haven, really recommended.
