As of Midday, the strike was obtaining different results depending on the size of the town.
In Almuñécar it was almost non-existent with the only sign of a general strike, apart from the occasional closed shop, the rubbish that was not collected in the early hours of the morning.
The municipal market was open with most stalls working and the large supermarkets were all open.
The school teaching staff in most educational centres having turned up for work.
As far as Almuñécar is concerned, it was a non-event.
In Motril however, the unions were much more effective, with pickets managing to either close, or prevent from opening, Mercadona and the ITV centre, amongst other places.
They also picketed the Town Hall to prevent staff from entering.
After that, the picket squads reformed to take part in a street demonstration that ran through the centre of town, ending up in the Plaza de la Aurora.
If business are left to choose for themselves and left alone by the militant pickets as in Almuñecar, it seems they much prefer to open because any income is better than nothing in these pressing times.
Generally speaking, within the province of Granada, the strike has only been effective in Motril and Baza; in the case of the former, most businesses are closed whilst the street demonstration is going on.
The Granada bus station was working close to normally.
It was still too early to have a nationwide view as of midday, but under an agreement between the Government and the unions, at least a minimum service of a third of local trains and buses should have been running, with 1-in-10 domestic and 1-in-5 European flights operating.
