A tiny antique bookshop in the middle of the street


I found this tiny bookshop off one of the main pedestrian streets in the centre of Madrid. It literally was a hole in the wall (all be it very cute), a couple of trestle tables and a bookshelf (which was built into the wall of the building). 

So adorable. It was pumping. The old man in the khaki suit channeling Indiana Jones' father was the shopkeeper and he wasn't too impressed with all the fanfare that my camera brought along. People like a spectacle, so when I started taking pics I guess they thought it meant there was something to see so they came over for a look... Made for a grumpy old man. I kinda think he's got a Yetti look going on here, don't you?
