Smart Boutique Hotel San Bieito and the world of bookstores

03/06/2015

I try to treat books like they treat me, that is, man to man. Books or are people or they are nothing. [...] As you want to search a utilitarian value to the literature its seen languish, shrivel up and die. A library is the perfect place for free and can not serve for anything.

 CLAUDE ROY. "El amante de las librerías"


The San Bieito hotel at Santiago de Compostela comes with a name and many surnames. San Bieito, following the custom of adopting the nickname of the neighborhood, street or canton in opens, which alludes to serve them, in the Canton of San Bieito.

Our names, this is "Smart Boutique Literary Hotel" We explain to you all. We are a boutique hotel, so we collect the best of the services of a hotel with the personalized and close treatment of small establishments; We have a vocation of service craft.

The Smart comes because we integrate in our offer several technological advances designed to offer a personalized experience and how all our clients, a smart hotel concept have an outside check-in machine to machine, tablets offer our customers, and our Room identify with or poem through QR codes. But our little pride, our pet name is the Literary.

At first we put this name because the hotel is open in the former home of the birth of Manuel Murguía, who speak in an upcoming entry but if there is something that unites us to the literary tradition of Santiago de Compostela is the love of libraries; perhaps because we work to offer leisure time far from everything productive, we understand well the comforting, friendly hedonistic spirit of bookstores.



Bookstores reality is mutant, mutable and unstable. Contemporary life engulfed one of the spaces / inventions that defined modern life -together soap, filmmaker, means of mechanical transport and boots goma-- and discussion about books leans more towards the medium on which edited that what is written on them: Did any more tired of the eternal debate between traditional e-book or books?

Both are fine. End of discussion.

As we say, the space occupied by the bookstore in a city is another matter. They are like time capsules in which we feel the flow of time, which is the speed of our lives. Can not be summarized in a picture one gets with the Smartphone and, as if nothing had happened, it is something else.

Libraries are beyond the circuits that fits our passing by the cities: they are neither a motorway nor intended as the paths of a park or the streets of a business district designed by a developer delivered to efficiency; We also offer a relationship with another virtual or teach us a world that videos summarizing for five seconds or judgments of one hundred forty characters. The libraries only make sense when we travel and we understand their world titles, his tricks and secrets. They fill with a fresh and youthful determination when we view the minutes and discovering titles and authors in the back of each copy.

Did you know that the autonomous community of Galicia which has more bookstores per capita? It is true that time is relative and that does not happen at the same rate everywhere. Something will grab the territory and the traditional dispersion of Galicia, or difficulties in getting from one place to another that lasted until almost the XXI century this space was necessary to resort to the world.

Smart Boutique Literary Hotel San Bieito stories continue to fascinate us bookstores, those who are a part of mueso themselves or those that have been adapted to the passage of public tastes and offer more comics, electronic devices or games , but somehow we want to convey that unique experience to create his own universe, to live Santiago de Compostela through our hotel and services. Your stay here as rewarding because it is linked to yourselves, not a schedule or plan.

Literary something always remains.

In the next chapter, we accompany our secret route through the libraries of Santiago de Compostela.

Do not miss it.
