The Councillor for Commerce, Hospitality and Tourism in Torrevieja, Rosario Martínez, along with the president of the small business association in the town, APYMECO, Jorge Almarcha, were amongst delegates who presented a series of events this week to promote commerce in Torrevieja, as part of the “Local Commerce Month”, organised by the town hall, which will take place from October 10 to 31 in different parts of the town.
A mariner´s market on Paseo Vista Alegre, a craft market in La Mata, and a street food market in the Park of Nations will see traders from outside Torrevieja coming to the town to share their wares with locals, and, they hope, boost local commerce in different parts of Torrevieja.
In addition to all the activities, during Local Commerce Month a raffle will be held to encourage the purchase in local businesses of 10 vouchers for 100 euro, for purchases over 25 euro, in the more than 100 businesses participating in this campaign.
The winners will be announced on November 3, through the official Facebook page of the Commerce Department. Likewise, on Saturday, November 4, to close Local Commerce Month, the Local Commerce Gala will be held at the Torrevieja Casino.
