Madrid Book Fair

The King and Queen of Spain at the Madrid Book Fair in 2017

The Madrid Book Fair (Spanish: Feria del Libro de Madrid) is an annual event held in the Buen Retiro Park in Madrid. It is not to be confused with the trade fair LIBER, which alternates its venues between Barcelona and Madrid.

The Madrid Book Fair is international in scope. Although it features mainly books from Spanish-speaking countries, the event promotes the literature of a guest country, which in 2018 was Romania.[1]

As of 2018, the fair does not feature e-books.[2]

History

The event began in 1933. It ceased for a few years because of the Spanish Civil War.[2]
