#607 El Ateneo book shop

On our first visit to Buenos Aires, we must go to El Ateneo book shop!

Built 100 years ago as a theater, the bookstore is now a major tourist attraction in the city with more than a million visitors annually.  The theater seating has been removed and replaced with bookshelves - as the roulette tables were removed and replaced with bookshelves on the MV Explorer!

Yours in enjoying theaters, bookstores, and the combination of the two,
Mary
