S3 Ep5 Federico Lang, Libreria Luces (Malaga, Spain)

<p>Today we are traveling to the south of Spain, to get some sun and more importantly talk to Federico, a bookseller in Malaga&#39;s <a href="https://www.librerialuces.com/es/index.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Libreria Luces</a>. This is a bookshop that describes itself as an experience, a literary and cultural experience. Just last week it turned 20, which, if you&#39;ve been listening to this podcast for a while now, you know is a major achievement for an independent bookstore. If Libreria Luces could talk, it would have quite a few stories to tell: not only did it survive a pandemic, but it also made it through a very loud, years-long period of a subway station being constructed just on its doorstep - you can just imagine how good that can be for business. But despite the odds, it perseveres, and it continues on its mission to promote reading as a fundamental activity in people&#39;s lives. On its website, Libreria Luces puts sustainability at the very top of its list of values, something I haven&#39;t seen any other bookshop do. They also do a million partnerships, turning the city itself into one big bookshop. They&#39;re 20 years old and growing..and as any 20 year old will have experienced, they&#39;re constantly changing, learning and embracing new social media platforms. If your summer plans take you to Malaga this year, make sure you pay them a visit. <br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gotbooks/message
