The shoe repairer in my village
This is the little shop in the village where I take my tired shoes whenever they need a bit of pampering or new fresh heels.
I love going there. Its owner is an elderly man who talks sweetly to his customers.

This tiny shop is next to the fishmonger's. Most of its customers are women. They sit on the moleskin benches and happily chat away just as if they were in their own living room.
The owner and his wife don't mind really.
They're smiling and easy going just like most people here.
Me I like this shop because it's a place where time stands still.
It's so unpretentious, I find it quite refreshing in a way.
The owner told me, it hasn't changed since it opened in 1969. He and his wife try to keep up with fashion but it doesn't really matter to them.

I used to have a pair of those traditional Spanish corder, actually more than one pair over the years but I haven't seen any around here for a long time.
so sorry to have been so absent lately.
This was a lovely post.
For some reason shoe repair shops stick in the memory..........
I loved the flat soled summer shoes that we often call Espadrilles (maybe I spelled that wrong!)
We hope to go to Morocco oin Ferbruary
and one of these lifetimes I may actually get to SPAIN
to see you!

Thanks for sharing your charming little shoe repair shop with us.
We have a fancy cowboy boot maker down the street. Since not many can afford his beautiful boots he is always willing to make a little extra money by repairing our old shoes and boots and anything else made of leather.
