Local commerce initiatives expand in Manlleu and Cappont

Local commerce initiatives are expanding in Catalonia to boost neighborhood trade and economic activity. In Manlleu, the ‘La Comerciada’ campaign will take place from October 5 to 12. This fourth edition of the initiative involves 40 merchant associations and 1,500 establishments across 32 towns and cities. The campaign aims to highlight the economic and social importance of local shops through promotions and prize draws.

In the Cappont neighborhood, the ‘River Mercat’ was held to promote proximity commerce. The event featured over twenty stalls and included community activities such as children's games, traditional sardana dances, and an antique vehicle exhibition. Pimec Comerç Lleida emphasized that such initiatives serve as strategic tools to strengthen the link between local businesses and their surrounding environments.
