# Biblioteca Pública Municipal José Ramos Cabello

The **Biblioteca Pública Municipal José Ramos Cabello** is the public library of Torre del Mar, on **Avenida Duque de Ahumada**, with lending, reading rooms and study space. It holds a 3.2 over 66 reviews, which is the rating public buildings collect rather than a judgement on the service.

## What a library gives you here that nobody advertises

Air conditioning in August and heating in January, free wifi, a quiet table, and a **library card** that is free to anybody registered in the municipality. In a town where a good share of the flats are small and shared in summer, that last one is the reason the study room fills up in exam season.

For a foreign resident there is a further use: Andalusian public libraries lend digital books and audiobooks through a regional platform, which includes material for learning Spanish. Ask at the desk what the card gives access to. It is one of the few genuinely free things in a coastal town and almost nobody who arrives from abroad knows it exists.
