timate crown in an epic showdown! Competitors will have the chance to collect points in the National Jamón Cutting League.

The beautifully crafted frames blend minimalistic design and classic chic styling. They feature soft textures, rich earthy tones, natural crystal shades and modern silhouettes, providing a clean and timeless look. Even the tiniest details have been considered, from the herringbone textured corewires to the two­tone laminated acetate temple tips. Every aspect of each frame adds to their refined aesthetic.

Sustainability was identified as one of the key drivers in buying decisions in a recent report from Specsavers Ópticas, making this range’s eco­credentials even more important. These frames are handcrafted from 52 per cent bio­based acetate, made with materials like tree pulp, and the metal frames are made from 54 per cent recycled metals.

Nerea Galdos­Little from Specsavers Ópticas Marbella commented, “It’s a pleasure to intro­ duce this Nordic­inspired range to our stores. Over five million Scandinavians holiday in Spain ever year and there are around 20,000 permanent residents from Scandinavia living in the Malaga Province alone.

LUXE RANGE: Now available in Spain.

A recent Sifo survey showed that 28 per cent of Swedes have at some point considered buying a home abroad and 22 per cent of those would like to buy a home in Spain. And it’s not just the Swedes who love Spain, Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol has the second largest number of Finns outside Finland!

Scandinavians have a love affair with Spain and so it only seems right to introduce a range inspired by their style to the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca and Mallorca, which many of them call home.

There are nine Specsavers Ópticas stores in Spain. You
