TORREVIEJA BUSINESSES FREE TO SET HOURS

Listen to this article

The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the Generalitat has granted announced that all businesses in Torrevieja will have complete freedom to set their own opening times from 1 October. The permission will be for an indefinite duration.

The Councillor of Commerce, Agustina Esteve, announced the resolution on Wednesday saying that the decision had been positive because Torrevieja was an established tourist area and it was currently being penalized after similar permission had previously been granted to the neighboring municipality of Orihuela. The two cities would now be able to compete for trade on an even basis.

Torrevieja has a high number of second homes, tourist accommodation, many areas of cultural interest or some extremely important cultural events, one that springs to particular mind is the International Contest of Habanera and Polyphony.

Therefore, from 1 October, Torrevieja establishments, regardless of the size of the sales floor and whether or not they are independent traders or members of a franchise, will have complete freedom to decide their own opening times.
