But if you are an avid reader, you will probably need book stores that offer a greater variety of English books. <strong>Come in<\/strong> (Carrer de Balmes, 129-Bis) sells exclusively English books, offering also a couple of English games. <strong>Hibernian Books<\/strong> is another great shop to go to for English books. There you can find a huge variety of used English books at reduced prices, and a couple of new books as well. Another interesting feature of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hibernianbooks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Hibernian Books <\/strong><\/a>(Carrer Montseny, 17) is that it buys used books, for which you can receive anything from 0,25\u20ac to a couple of euros.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Newspapers_Magazines\"><\/span><strong>Newspapers &amp; Magazines<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Those who haven\u2019t had the time to learn\u00a0Spanish\u00a0yet,\u00a0may find it difficult to keep up to date with what is going on in the world while visiting or staying in\u00a0<strong>Barcelona<\/strong>.
