Buenos Aires, Argentina
While Argentina has many beautiful provinces, ranging from mountains to sand dunes, this webpage is all about Buenos Aires!
El Ateneo
Located in the neighborhood Recoleta, El Ateneo Grand Splendid wasn’t always a bookstore. It was built in 1919 as a theater — El Grand Splendid. Many productions later, in 1929, it was transformed into a cinema, the first one in Buenos Aires to show sound film. However, in the year 2000, it was given a new purpose — a bookstore. This gorgeous bookstore follows the structure of an old delightful theater: the stage, a coffee shop; the auditorium, displays with books and more books. Give el Ateneo a visit and immerse yourself in Argentinian culture and history!
