The Cuesta de Moyano is a famous, ascending promenade near Retiro Park in Madrid, known since 1925 for its historic wooden bookstalls. Along the avenue, traditional antique dealers and booksellers sell used works, rarities, and classics in around 30 characteristic blue stall pavilions. This charming open-air book mile is considered a permanent cultural meeting point of the capital and invites locals and tourists alike to browse in the heart of Madrid.
