Talk Quesada forum

I have read on here several times that there is a shoe repairer 'somewhere' in Rojales.
Does anybody know exactly where? I keep getting sent to Guadamar by my OH but
Rojales is much more convenient if I can locate the shop. TIA.

Jordy,if you walk along this side of the river,dont cross to bridge bar side,go all the way along past the play area till you come to the wheel at the bridge there is a junction there the cobblers is about 3/4 buildings up about level with the kiosk where all the old locals gather dingy looking shop.

I shall take a look on Monday morning. Thanks very much QL. Do you have Google Earth or Maps that you
could pull a street name or reference for me? Much appreciated if you can but if not, I'll have a walkabout.

Yes good sevice - made my wife's shoes like new for good price....
But, unusually for Spain, they ask you to pay in advance. (Guess they got lumbered with some shoes they'd repaired and not collected.)

Street name for cobbler is Calle La Hila near river at waterwheel

.

Thanks for that. I was on the lookout for a cobbler in Rojales myself.

The cost of getting shoes repaired at home is often uneconomical.

Now all I want is a reasonable seamstress. Again the cost at home of getting a pair of jeans taken up is ludicrous. More than the jeans cost me in the States

I have used the cobblers shown for various things, but if you go across the river on the left is a bank, go another 2/3 shops further, on the left, is a shop run by an elderly Spanish lady who does repairs, hope this helps?

Brilliant. Thanks again to all for helping. I'll nip down tomorrow.
What a great resource this site is.
