Books in Spanish - Albuquerque or Santa Fe?
October 13, 2018 7:55 AM   Subscribe

Where can I purchase books in Spanish in Albuquerque or Santa Fe? Used or new, any country, no particular specialization.

I went in a few bookstores around the square, and they had a shelf of mostly bilingual books, but I would really like to find someone with a serious inventory en español, if that exists. Anywhere between ABQ and the general Santa Fe Area is preferred.

There doesn't appear to be much. Looking at https://www.yasabe.com/es/santa-fe-nm/local/.a_0.c_librerias/ only

Garcia Street Books
376 Garcia St, Ste B
Santa Fe, NM87501
(505)-986-0151

claims to even speak Spanish.

I see nothing obvious in Albuquerque using the same website. I suggest you call Garcia Street Books and ask for recommendations.

I’m pretty sure both Bookworks and Page One have Spanish language books, but it might be a good idea to call and confirm.

Best answer: The Spanish language bookstore of Santa Fe, and I believe, all the mountain west is Alla.

Response by poster: Wow, went there and there were rooms full of Spanish books, ranging from board books for infants to scholarly works. There are books from all over the Spanish-speaking world, too. The prices are not cheap, but the owner, John, gives excellent service.
