Re: General Strike
No schools, no buses and a few places closed but in general business as usual. I had an appointment at the notarios in another town and the shops were all open. Collected my friend from her job at the hospital and she said that the strike had made no difference there either.

Re: General Strike
In a restaurant last night I met a man who had been traveling around Morocco.
Yesterday he caught the ferry from Tangiers to Tarifa in order to get to Gib for a London flight today. Cost him a taxi fare to get to Gib, no other transport. |
Re: General Strike
Would anyone expect life in the pueblos to be any different:confused: Most are family businesses. Same as in any country these strikes are dominated by public sector workers and anarchist types. Seen the flying pickets try to use their strong arm tactics on the coast and in Málaga but as soon as they move on they re-open.

Re: General Strike
There was no evidence of any strike around here yesterday. Maybe I missed something, but the town centre was open for business and bustling.

Re: General Strike
Most of the shops & bars in our small village were closed yesterday - but our Spanish lesson organised by the Ayuntamiento went ahead when we didn't expect it!
