Pérez Villamil House

I was surprised to find this building in Plaza Matute. Maybe because my eyes are accustomed to the Modernism in Barcelona, or maybe because it’s a beautiful building made out of iron and glass, with a beautiful façade and decoration and a pure white color that, in a grey day, stands out from the rest of the buildings of the square and the Las Letras neighborhood.

But I also stopped there because in the ground floor you will find the Unión Fonográfica Independiente (The Independent Phonographic Union), a place with more than 200 square meters that houses about 18,000 references of national catalogues in an interesting music shop.
