On the second day of the shopping day, in the shops of the Center, the streets were full of buyers who visited the participating stores. The constant arrival of merchandise allowed the establishments to be replenished, while municipal police carried out patrols to prevent accidents, thefts and assaults.

Shopping in Plazas de Mérida
In Plaza La Isla, for example, the movement was moderate. The bags that the walkers carried were, for the most part, clothes; It could be said that purchases of clothing items were the protagonists.
The department stores, which advertised discounts of 20%, 30% or 50%, They were not full nor did they have lines.
Where there was more movement was in the food areas and cafeterias.
Families and groups of friends took the opportunity to sit for a while after shopping, some bags resting at their feet.
There, Sandra Lopezloaded with bags from department stores, commented that she came to see if she could find any offer that was really “worth it,” although she admitted that she was not going for anything specific.
“I am not one to prepare for it.” ‘Good End’. I just arrive, see and the discounts surprise me.”
Your daughter, María Luisa Sabidosaid something similar: that he was only going to look and maybe buy something if he liked it, although he considers that these dates make people “consumerists”, who buy on impulse rather than out of necessity.
An employee of a shoe store, who preferred not to identify herself, commented that the sales movement could increase today or Sunday, since during the week it is usually “a little more complicated.”
In City Center There was little presence of vehicles in the parking lot and a small number of visitors in the hallways. In this more open square, the offers were less visible; Services predominated, but without lines or intense movements.
In Altabrisa the parking lot was fuller, although inside the shopping seemed everyday. The stores displayed their sale signs, but there were no long lines or crowds that indicated an intense day.
Lucia Manrique He commented that he was buying by chance and that he had not gone out thinking about the “Good End”, but if I found something “good”, I would take advantage of it.
Clothing purchases were also predominant in this plaza, along with shoes and makeup. The rest were normal purchases at the supermarket or at food and dessert stores.
Unlike the Center, where the day was more enthusiastic, in the north the panorama was different; more like a daily outing to walk around a shopping plaza, with employees hoping that sales will increase over the next few days.
