The best fashion and gift stores Asunción & Area

A large bookstore that also makes publishing. Children's tales and conferences around the book are organized from time to time. El Lector is also present on Plaza Uruguaya.

An old bookshop overlooking Plaza Uruguaya. Access is via a dark corridor in the Edificio Garantia (no sign). The room is overrun with dusty old books, the archiving of which only the loquacious Julio Rafael Aquino can understand! Collectors of old books are sure to find a rare gem here... Otherwise, Plaza Uruguaya is the traditional place to buy books. El Lector, El Libro en Su Casa and Servilibro are three kiosks in the middle of the square, where you'll find, for example, The Little Prince in Guarani!

This independent publisher and bookshop is located just behind the Alliance française, in the historic center. It sells books for children and adults, including a good selection of French-language books that expatriates will love (if they can't find what they're looking for in the Alliance library). Fausto offers reading and creative writing workshops, book launches, cinema, theater, dance and exhibitions. Pleasant patio for a drink at La Galette next door.
