Berkana

A specialist bookshop on Calle Hortaleza in the heart of Chueca, Madrid's main gay neighbourhood, stocking a broad range of titles covering sexuality, gender, queer theory, fiction, and biography. The shop has the feel of a place run by people who actually read what they sell, with knowledgeable staff and a carefully curated selection that goes well beyond the mainstream. It has been operating since 1993, making it one of the longest-running queer bookshops in Spain, and has built a reputation as a reference point for the community in Madrid.
