Hi all, am looking for a shoe repair shop that thinks a bit outside the box.  I need a strap lengthened on a pair of sandals so my query is a little different from new heels etc.  Hope you can help.  Many thanks.

There used to be a 'cobblers' shop along the road above the calle mayor,  where the 2nd tier of the market is held.  Don't know whether it's still there now though.  I think there was a halal butchers opposite. Walk up the steep road alongside the big Chinese bazaar.  Hope you find it.

Hi,

If that fails & you have transport, then the Cobbler in the little arcade behind Spanish Property Choice & Koi Cafe, Mojacar Playa. Near PAWS.

Thanks for your courtesy.

When my beloved wife went for something or other she was appalled at quote & left it.

The wife there speaks excellent English.

Thanks, I believe it's the one I found - his name is Jose Ortega Lopez and he's on c/Joaquin Escobar no. 60 Garrucha. Extremely helpful & pleasant. Was able to do the job on extending the straps of my sandals in no time. Only €8 & couldn't have worn them if I hadn't found him. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
