As a glasses wearer on holidays, having your frames break mid adventure is a bit frustrating! The…read morepin in my specs dropped out and I was left wearing my prescription sunglasses for the morning while walking around Barcelona.
I came across this cure optometrist while taking a random laneway and popped in to see if they could be fixed. As I tried to explain in English what had happened, the gentleman gestured that he would fix them and went out back for a few minutes.
He returned, glasses good as new and when I took out my wallet to pay he put up his hands and smiled as if to say " don't worry, my pleasure!". Way to make a foreigner feel special, right?
