Refreshing efficiency
Today we had our bunk beds delivered for our daughters' bedroom. We bought it through a German furniture store based in Sabinillas. The furniture they have is fantastic, imported from Denmark. The owner rang the other day to tell us that he would be delivering the bed at 10:30 in the morning on Tuesday.
In true Spain style we took this to mean anywhere between 11:00 and 11:30. But no!! The van pulled up outside at 10:28 and the owner was knocking on our door at exactly 10:30....how refreshing...and unexpected.
It seems that the Germans are the rare breed that do not seem to adopt the Spanish "manana" practices when setting up business here. Even the English here are not as efficient as they would be back home.
Thank god for the Germans.
By the way, if you're looking to furnish your property in Spain you may want to read our recent article on this subject, hope it help:
