Librería El Barco de Papel
About
Librería El Barco de Papel, on Tenerife, is a bookshop at Av. Inmaculada Concepción, 18, local, 38360 El Sauzal, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. First-time visitors should expect a compact, well-stocked bookshop rather than a general store, so walk in ready to browse shelves and ask for recommendations.
A rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 522 reviews places it among the most consistently praised bookshops on the island. El Sauzal sits on Tenerife's northern coast, within reach of Puerto de la Cruz and La Laguna, so a stop here fits a day moving between the island's northern towns. The shop opens Mo-Fri 8:30-13:30, 16:30-20:00, and Sa-Su 9:30-13:30, with a website at http://www.libreriaelbarcodepapel.com/es/. Reaching it from the main resorts is straightforward by car, since El Sauzal lies just off the north-bound road towards Santa Cruz.
Weekday mornings and afternoons are split by a midday break, while weekends run on a single morning schedule. The shop maintains an online presence through its website, which lists its location in El Sauzal. Visitors planning a stop should note the split hours when timing a visit.
For anyone staying on the coast, El Sauzal sits within easy reach of Puerto de la Cruz and La Laguna, both of which appear among the nearby places. Tenerife's volcanic landscape rises inland towards Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain, and the island's waters are home to whales, dolphins and sea turtles. Carnival is celebrated across the Canaries with parades, music and satirical performances, and the islands' protected laurel forests reward a detour inland.
