This is a blue blood establishment in the
leather business. Their pedigree is such that
the Royals of Spain have been shopping here for
generations. Riding equipment is the specialty
at “R y C,” but the suitcases and accessories are
the ultimate in craftsmanship and quality.
LA MARTINA
Avenida Paraguay 661
Handbags, leather accessories and fine apparel
are featured, along with riding equipment and

Bookstores (Librerías)
Buenos Aires bookstores are known for their
enormous tables, indoors and out, piled high
with topics on virtually every topic ranging
from European and South American Litera-
ture, to politics and politicians (especially popu-
lar here) to biorhythms and physics. Spanish
predominates, but you can usually turn up
some titles in French or English. Antique topics
are for sale throughout the city and book fairs
are held all year long.
There are hundreds of bookshops of all shapes
and sizes scattered throughout the city. The fol-
lowing are just a few of our favorites.
