An unusual bookstore has opened in the very heart of Barcelona, taking a unique approach to gloomy weather. Whenever it starts raining outside, this shop welcomes anyone looking to shelter from the rain and spend time reading. Here, you can not only browse books for free, but also warm up with a cup of coffee offered to guests.
The owners came up with the idea after noticing that on rainy days, people are more likely to look for cozy places to wait out the downpour. The store quickly became popular among locals and tourists, who now make a point to drop by whenever it rains. Inside, there’s a special atmosphere: soft lighting, shelves with books for every taste, and comfortable armchairs that invite visitors to relax at their own pace.
The organizers are confident that their initiative not only helps promote reading, but also creates a space for socializing. Visitors can share their thoughts on what they’ve read, discover new authors, or simply enjoy the quiet while watching raindrops outside. The shop asks for nothing in return—just come in and choose any book you like.
This approach has already drawn the attention of book lovers from all over Barcelona. Some even look forward to rainy days just to return to this cozy spot. The owners hope their example will inspire other shops in the city to launch similar initiatives, as simple hospitality can make the city feel warmer even on the dreariest days.
