Does anyone know what the 'attention, attention' van is about? As I don't understand Spanish yet it's a loud mystery!

At the beginning of July there was a van going around the La Mata streets with a loudspeaker making the announcement in English for knife sharpening.

Ah yep it did remind me of rag and bone for some reason. Also our rang and bone did sharpen knives (East London 1970's) so yep that makes sense. Yet it might still be a fishmonger's van -!
