The 10 Best Bookshops in Córdoba
Córdoba, Argentina’s second city, is home to the nation’s oldest university: the National University of Córdoba, founded in 1613, and, because of this, has the nickname La Docta, or “the Learned One”. It has long been a cultural hub, home to esteemed authors such as Leopoldo Lugones and Marcos Aguinis, and Córdoba’s lengthy literary heritage means that it boasts many best-sellers to this day, along with a clutch of fantastic bookshops. Check them out…
1. El Mundo del Libro

El Ateneo
In addition to extensive book offerings, El Ateneo also boasts a CD and DVD section for fans of music and movies. Additionally, this is the place to go for a leisurely look-around; the bookshop has a reading room, complete with comfortable chairs, as well as a café, so curling up with a coffee and a good book is not only an option – it’s encouraged. Careful though, days have been lost entirely in this cozy little joint!
