Rain Dogs: the new Lavapiés bookshop where music is read and lived
A unique bookshop opens in Lavapiés. Books, concerts and workshops for music lovers. Discover the space that brings literature and music together. Special opening hours and activities for everyone. It is not just a shop; it is a meeting point.
In the heart of Lavapiés, Perros de lluvia has opened its doors, a bookshop committed to music in all its forms. Located at Calle Sombrerería 1, unit 2, this new space presents itself as a refuge for people passionate about music and literature.
Inspired by Tom Waits' album Rain Dogs, the bookshop offers a selection of music books covering biographies, essays, magazines, fanzines, graphic novels and children's titles. Visitors can also find items such as personalised T-shirts and bags, all with a musical theme.
Perros de lluvia, run by Álex Fraile, brings together on its shelves works about artists as diverse as Aretha Franklin, C. Tangana, Rosalía and Taylor Swift. The aim is clear: to make room for every style and genre, turning the premises into a meeting point for music lovers.
The proposal goes beyond selling books. The space hosts small concerts, book and record signings, reading workshops and activities related to sheet music. In this way, the bookshop establishes itself as a place of exchange and community for those who enjoy music in all its forms.
Perros de lluvia's usual opening hours are Tuesday to Saturday, from 10:30 to 14:30 and from 17:00 to 20:30, and Sundays from 10:30 to 15:00. During Christmas, the hours remain Tuesday to Saturday, in the same time slots.
Perros de lluvia is shaping up to be an essential stop for those looking for more than a simple bookshop: a space where music is read, shared and lived.
