Barcelona's Sant Martí neighborhood boasts the impressive Biblioteca Gabriel García Márquez, a public library that has quickly become a standout attraction since its opening in 2022. Known for its distinctive architecture, this library offers a dynamic environment tailored for reading, studying, and working, while drawing in architecture aficionados with its award-winning design, honored with the Mies Van der Rohe award in 2023.
Inside, you'll discover several floors stacked with a vast collection of books, thoughtfully integrated with modern features like radio booths and private meeting rooms. Large windows bathe the interiors in natural light, and a small terrace offers a peaceful retreat. Despite its acclaim, patrons have noted some operational challenges, such as limited functional bathrooms and occasional noise disruption. However, its conveniences - free entry, complimentary Wi-Fi, air-conditioned spaces, and ample room - make it a favored spot to dive into work or a captivating read.

Muy linda biblioteca. Lastimosamente estábamos con mi hija de 4 años en el área infantil y una persona que trabaja en la biblioteca regañó a mi hija porque según ella estaba “gritando”. Una lastima porque fuimos en verano a refugiarnos del calor y divertirnos, y no nos fue permitido.
Infraestructura increíble, bellísima muchas comodidades. Limpio muy agradable. El staff amable. Te ayudan a buscar lo que necesites. Mis hijas estuvieron como en su parque de diversiones favorito. No vivimos cerca pero seguro volveremos, Una experiencia para repetir.
Bellísima, muy buena arquitecta. Cuenta con variedad de espacios para leer o trabajar en tus proyectos.Debo volver y familiarizarme un poco más. A primera vista me pareció que tienen pocos libros, se ven muy vacías las estanterías, también debo entender como buscar los libros en las pantallas digitales con las que cuentan, yo aún recuerdo los ficheros... En general muy recomendable.
