Marta Sánchez has been in charge of capturing the expression on the face of Tomás, from the El Faro fishmonger. Edith Silvares and Adela Pérez have given their gaze to Beatriz,from La Hacienda del Pan.And so, the merchants and shopkeepers of the La Rondilla municipal market have become the protagonists of an exhibition of caricatures made by the students of the Art School.
The result can be visited during these days in the renovated facilities of the neighborhood market, which are “little by little” recovering their rhythm, after coming back to life at the end of September after three years of construction and inactivity.
“All campaigns that serve to promote the market are well received,” explains Javier Serrada, president of the merchants of a place that still suffers from an excess of vacant positions. “Now we are open seven out of 16. People are getting used to coming to the market again,but we need to fill the empty stalls,” says Javier,who points out two fundamental problems hindering more merchants from settling here. “The first is bureaucracy. The procedures are very slow, for everything. Such as, it has taken us a long time to have the loading and unloading signs painted, we still do not have bins, and only a month ago they installed the benches for us,” explains the president of the merchants.
