About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning in an old optician’s shop called Specs del Mar, a delivery driver kept noticing strange reflections in the store’s antique mirrors. Every time he looked closer, he swore he saw a pair of eyes peering back at him from behind the frames. Finally, one day, while adjusting someone's glasses, the owner asked if everything was okay. The delivery driver nodded nervously and said, 'Yeah, just thought I saw your reflection move.' With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘Specs del Mar has been here for decades—maybe you’re seeing ghosts of past customers!’ Everyone laughed, including the driver, who realized it was just another quirky tale from an ancient optician.
2. One day, while an elderly gentleman was trying on glasses at Specs del Mar, he noticed something peculiar: every time he adjusted his new frames, the reflection in the mirror seemed to wink back at him. At first, it was just a passing amusement, but soon enough, the winking became more frequent and even synchronized with his own blinks. Finally, curious as to who or what might be causing this strange phenomenon, our gentle customer asked one of the assistants for help. After some investigation, they discovered that a tiny sea anemone had taken up residence inside his newest pair of frames—explaining both the winking and why his vision was slightly off. The old man left Specs del Mar that day with not only perfect vision but also a small aquatic friend named ‘Marcel’ who now lives happily in his home aquarium.
3. One evening at Specs del Mar, as the last rays of sunshine were fading away, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he left his package on the counter, it would mysteriously vanish before opening hours the next day. Finally, after weeks of mystery, an old neighbor walked in and asked if anyone had seen his reading glasses. Turned out they’d been sitting there all along—just waiting for their owner to come back.
4. One afternoon at Specs del Mar, an old pair of spectacles started whispering to customers about their previous owners. No one else could hear them, but the glasses would occasionally tilt slightly and point towards someone who’d recently moved away. Finally, a curious customer asked if she could try on a particularly talkative pair. To everyone’s surprise, the specs began describing her new neighbor—a grumpy old man who loved gardening and baking cookies for the whole block. The next day, Specs del Mar was buzzing with laughter as neighbors introduced themselves over freshly baked treats.
