This bookstore-bar-venue is the result of ten years of friendship between two Spanish civil engineers, Javier García del Moral and Paco Vique. They always wished for a space that could mix two of their passions: books and booze. After a lot of enthusiastic talk over the years, they were able to make that conversation actually happen and so The Wild Detectives opened its doors for the first time on the last day of February 2014.
Since then they have programmed over three hundred literary/cultural events and sold–arguably–as many books as beers.
