Our Story

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE & A GOOD TYPEWRITER!

At El Granero Typewriter Company, our hearts beat with the rhythm of the keys. More than just a business, we're a haven for those who believe in the power of the written word, for the dreamers and storytellers who find solace and inspiration in the tangible click of a vintage typewriter. Our mission is simple, yet profound: to breathe new life into these magnificent machines, not just as objects of beauty, but as vital tools for the writers and poets who will shape the narratives of tomorrow.

We are El Granero – "The Barn" – a name that reflects our dedication to preserving these seeds of creativity. Nestled in the sun-drenched landscapes of Fuengirola, Andalusia, our workshop is a place where history and craftsmanship intertwine. Here, each typewriter that comes into our care is treated with the love and respect it deserves. We don't just restore; we rejuvenate. We meticulously dismantle, clean away decades of dust and ink, and lovingly reassemble each machine, ensuring that its unique character and story shine through.

For us, it's more than just mechanics; it's about connection. We understand the almost sacred bond between a writer and their typewriter . It's about the focus that comes from a machine dedicated to a single purpose, free from the distractions of the digital world . It's about the satisfying click of the keys, the tangible imprint of words on paper, and the feeling of connection to a rich literary heritage .

When you choose El Granero, you're not just buying a restored typewriter; you're investing in a piece of history, a tool for creative exploration, and a testament to enduring quality. We pour our passion into every restoration, ensuring that each machine is not only functional but also a joy to use and behold. We offer a curated selection of vintage typewriters, each with its own unique story, ready to become a part of yours.

We believe in the power of personalization. Just as every writer has their own voice, every typewriter can be tailored to individual preferences. From selecting the perfect ribbon to customizing the color, we work with you to create a typewriter that feels like an extension of your own creative spirit. And our commitment extends beyond the sale. We're here to offer guidance, support, and a friendly voice whenever you need it because we believe in building lasting relationships with the writers and poets who choose El Granero.

So, if you're searching for a typewriter that whispers tales of the past while eagerly awaiting the stories you'll create, if you yearn for a writing experience that is both grounding and inspiring, then welcome to El Granero Typewriter Company. Come, explore our collection, and discover the perfect companion for your creative journey. Let's restore not just typewriters but the very act of thoughtful, passionate writing for the good of humanity, one click at a time.
