New Tuesday market for the village of Castillo

Councillor Pedro Medina, the Town Hall’s commercial director has inaugurated a new public market for the Castillo de la Duquesa area of Manilva which will be held every Tuesday.

The initiative has already been declared a great success by both the traders already serving the market, and the local residents who have long desired for the establishing of a market in this area.

Councillor Medina indicated that the aim of the market is to supply a wide range of products and services to the people of Castillo and the neighbouring urbanisations and cut down the need to travel elsewhere for their shopping.

The Tuesday market will also serve to revitalise Castillo as a commercial centre and will bring more people to the area’s shops, bars and restaurants.

Councillor Medina anticipates that the number of traders will increase as time goes on, and has also made provisions for an expanded market for the summer months to cater for the increased demand due to the large number of visitors to the area.

The Mayor, Salvador Zotano has congratulated the councillor responsible for this initiative, as not only does it make it easier for the consumers in the area to do their shopping but also improves the economy of this zone by acting as a stimulus for commercial activity in Castillo and Puerto de la Duquesa.
