Grand. Splendid.
It’s easy to spend just a week in Buenos Aires and see a city in love. Easily escaping bustling streets into the dusty filled cafe culture. Where sunlight fades into the crumbling corners of architecture once reminiscent of another era rich in capital and European designs. A place where they always give you a small cookie nibble and a miniature glass of soda water with every coffee.
It’s easy to spend a week in Buenos Aires and fall in love with the city. There must be something in the air, or the atmosphere. Where they serenade you on a grand piano in a old restored theater, where you can sit with your cafecito in a private balcony, among rows and rows of books flipping through whims. That’s Buenos Aires for you, home to the most captivating bookstore in the world: welcome to El Ateneo Grand Splendid.

It does look like the most captivating bookstore I've ever seen. The transformed theater building into a bookstore is wonderful, what fantastic spaces. I'd love to go and spend the day browsing, and sipping my cafecito!
