Small shops keep Spanish hours
Independent shops and workshops in Barcelona often close for lunch, roughly from two until four or five, and most are shut on Sundays; some close for part of August. Plan a repair for a weekday morning. For renting an instrument by the day or getting one restrung while you wait, ask ahead: luthiers work to their own queue, and a same-day job is a favor rather than a service. Guitar strings and drum parts are easy to find; parts for less common instruments may need ordering.
