el ateneo - extra image
this is el ateneo - a bookstore in buenos aires. it was built in the early 20th century as a theatre - named teatro gran splendid - i don't think you need to speak spanish to work out what that means. at the beginning of the 21st century it was transformed into a bookshop. thankfully this was tastefully done and still looks very much like the theatre it once was. i hadn't actually heard about it in any of my guidebooks but according to the guardian it's one of the top 10 bookshops in the world. and as the rest of my family say: if it says it in the guardian, it must be true.
