Signs urging customers to buy in Burgos.
Recently, the city of Burgos launched a new ad campaign to get people to “buy, buy, buy” in the downtown shops. Above is one of their new signs, which have been strategically placed throughout the city. The signs must be working because shops in Burgos are booming and shoppers are out at practically all hours of the day looking for deals (except during siesta time, that’s sacred).
I sometimes ask myself how it can be possible that people are out shopping like never before while Spain is in “Financial Crisis Mode.” The unemployment rate in Spain is on the rise and people on the street generally “complain” about the crisis all the time, yet everybody seems to still be “buying up a storm.” Where’s the money coming from? How can this be happening? It’s an enigma to me….
This whole “crisis” thing makes my head spin. I guess that’s why I’m a foreign language teacher and not an economist. Leave your comments on Spain and the economy below.
Hasta luego,
