Got a book at Bertrand’s yesterday to make you proud! Our friends went to Fable as Raquel recommended and loved it. 📚

I am glad you had a great time in my country. If you ever happen to visit again, I recommend you to visit Fable Cafe and Bookshop (all English), Salted Books (all English), Bookshop Bivar (second-hand in English) and Colour Square if you have kids (it’s not a bookshop per se but have an amazing section of English books, even though the owners are a Portuguese mother and daughter).

Thanks for spotlighting this amazing bookstores! I’ve visited Lisbon several times and will definitely be back there in the near future; I’ve been to some of the stores you mentioned but now I have others to check-out. A great book that ties nicely to your travels is “The Devil on Her Tongue” by Linda Holeman. Very backlist title but one of my favorite books, I recommend it to anyone visiting (or who has visited) Portugal.
