Just a little anecdote about my visit to Foncal in El Mattoral yesterday. My kitchen sink tap was giving me trouble. The type on a flexible hose which pulls out. Seems the filter in the head had gone missing and water flowing out like Niagra Falls splashing all over the place.So, I unscrewed it and took it to Foncal.
Well, the manager came out to help me and could not have been more pleasant if he tried! First he took out every box (loads of them) to look for a filter to match.No luck.
So I asked if they had a replacement tap head. Within seconds he found one at the HUGE cost of €3.30!!! LOL! It works perfectly now. But the reason for this post is to comment on just how nice and pleasant he was, and that is reflected in most of the dealings I have with the locals. One of the reasons I love this place is the character of the people. Of course, there are few exceptions, but on the whole they really are so kind, generous and patient.
So, for the cost of €3.30 I am a happy bunny and have a warm and fuzzy feeling inside due mainly to the nice treatment I received.
He even gave me a 10% discount !!!
