The most ornate bookstore I´ve ever visited

While walking calle Santa Fe, I randomly came upon one of the most ornate bookstores I´ve ever had the fortune of seeing. Originally a music or opera house, the place was converted some years ago into a bookstore. A grand cafe with a grander piano sits at the site of the old stage. Today, a man in his 50´s played, creating such melodies even a deaf person would have stayed for the performance. Over looking the stage, where the patrons once sat, are books. All of which are meticulously stacked row by row, accentuating the beauty of the building. To sit within this environment, sipping a coffee and enjoying a small pastry, was a shear treat.
