Being the first store in Montreal to accept Bitcoins has placed our store on the front page of the famous newspaper METRO, here's the article:

A pioneer store in Montréal, Canada, now accepts bitcoins as means of payment. There is even an “embassy” to new virtual currency in Montréal.

To pay for one’s traditional Spanish espadrilles with bitcoins, is like buying a product from the middle ages with a currency of the 21st century.  A clash of times and cultures, that amuses entrepreneur Diego Arnedo, owner and manager of the store l’Espagne à vos pieds (Spain at your feet), situated just two blocks away from the Mont-Royal metro station.
