Arts & Crafts

Hidden treasures, including local and regional arts and crafts, can be found amongst the stacks of Alma Libre Bookstore’s shiny new books and delightful used books.  Be it hand painted pottery necklaces, finely embroidered pouches and bags, local weaving, or unique photography, arts and crafts are a great compliment to Alma Libre Bookstore.  We are constantly on the lookout for new treasures and unique arts and craft oddities.  It is always so much sweeter to dive into a great book whilst being surrounded by cool classy art. And did we mention, our Frida Kahlo bags really compliment your eyebrows.

Maps & Guides

Maps & Guides

All great hunters of treasures arm themselves with maps and guides.  Alma Libre Bookstore is here to cater to the intrepid adventurer in you.  You want maps and guides? We have maps and guides!  Animal, plant, fish, fern and fowl? Check, check and double check.  Butterfly, biting bug, big mouth British Columbian bookseller…maps and guides for all.  We can help you find Valladolid, a boat to Belize, or some good ol’ maps and guides to the mysteries of Mexico.

Properly map and guided, you will be all cool cat when describing the moray eel you saw when you were snorkeling the Great Maya Reef.  So much better then saying “snakey water thing in the salty stuff out by the funny rock line”.

Gourmet Food Items

Gourmet Food Items

Gourmet food items are another of the must-have treasures to be found at Alma Libre Bookstore.  Nothing says Puerto Morelos Mexico adventure quite like torching yourself delirious with a picante salsa, or jacking up on regional coffee, then bringing it all back to awesome with local honey and chocolate.  Our gourmet food items include fantastic Mexican vanilla, carry on size hot sauces,  cocoa pucks, and rare crispy stink bug jellyfish bellies.  Top it all off with a swanky sugar skull and tippy lighthouse adorned apron, printed and designed in Puerto Morelos, and your Alma Libre Bookstore treasure hunting is complete.  It even has a pocket for a paperback!

Our Story

Our Story

So this is what happened…sorta…we got sick and tired of those little squares of butter.  Tom Brady and his New England posse became stale.  That classic kids book with the little fur tuft on the bunny just didn’t do it for us anymore. Poking and prodding the rabbit wasn’t the same.  We found ourselves totally thrilled with “pitter” but that was it. We could no longer just stand there, we had to go all in.  We were less and less able to talk down at people in an insulting way.  “Ronizing” someone didn’t even make sense.  Then, it dawned on us. It had happened.  It was no more. Gone. Full on hasta with no luego. Yup. We had completely eliminated “pat” from our lives!

Where to turn, what to do….?… Problem solved.  We know books, we love Mexico, we full stop adore Puerto Morelos, and life demands adventure.  With pat now cast as “ex”, we have deep end dove into Alma Libre Bookstore and Puerto Morelos life.  It’s neat-o.  Come see us.
