Our Story

Connecting passionate readers across Spain with extraordinary stories since 2020

Connect to Books was born from a simple belief: every person deserves access to stories that inspire, challenge, and transform. What started as a small operation in Alicante has grown into Spain's most beloved independent book delivery service, reaching readers from Barcelona to Seville, Madrid to Valencia.

We're not just another online bookstore. We're curators of literary experiences, champions of independent voices, and believers in the power of reading to change lives. Every book we select, every recommendation we make, every package we deliver is guided by our passion for connecting the right story with the right reader at the right time.

Our journey began when our founder, Maria Santos, noticed a gap in Spain's book market. While large retailers focused on bestsellers and algorithms, readers craved personal connection and thoughtful curation. She envisioned a service that would combine the intimacy of an independent bookstore with the convenience of modern delivery, creating something entirely new in the Spanish literary landscape.

Today, we serve thousands of readers across Spain, from students discovering their first great novel to lifelong bibliophiles expanding their collections. We've built partnerships with publishers, authors, and literary organizations to bring exclusive editions, signed copies, and unique reading experiences to our community.

Our Mission

Guiding principles that shape everything we do

Passionate Curation

Every book in our collection is carefully selected by readers who genuinely love what they do. We read, discuss, and debate before recommending anything to our community.

Community First

We're building more than a business—we're nurturing a community of readers who support each other, share discoveries, and celebrate the joy of reading together.

Excellence Always

From the moment you browse our selection to the day your book arrives, we're committed to providing an exceptional experience that honors both you and the authors we represent.
