The effects of the storm that left the DANA In Malaga, they can still be seen in the streets of the capital. Dozens of businesses in the city have been seriously affected by flooding caused by last Wednesday’s torrential rains.
The impact of the storm was of such magnitude that many stores remained closed on Friday as staff and owners worked hard to clean up. Remove mud, draw water…An image that is repeated in many areas of the city.
The Center district is one of the most affected areas. And what happened in the known Carreteria Streetrecently renovated with an ambitious rehabilitation project, allows us to measure the extent of the discontent.
Most of the businesses on this road were this Friday, blinds drawn, lifeless, trying to regain the lost normality. THE Brooms and mops, all covered in mud, have replaced the usual clientele.
Among the many companies that find themselves in this situation are Antonio López Tapestry. Its owner, Antonio, admits that what happened on Wednesday was something that could be expected after the numerous warnings from the National Meteorological Agency (Aemet). This foresight allowed him to preserve the work carried out and his most expensive products.
“Now all that’s left is throw things away which were damaged after the passage of DANA and cleaning everything that was dirty, there is no other option”, he expressed with clear signs of acceptance.
Each business will reopen when it deems appropriate, depending on the damage caused. In the case of the Antonio López saddlery, it is expected to return to normal work during the next week. “Hopefully it’s possible to get back to normal.” next weekbut it will depend on how the cleaning problem evolves,” he says.
However, other businesses are closing until new review because they don’t know when they will be able to return to normal. This is the case of Mendalerenda, located in Soho, more precisely at 8 Casa de Campos Street.
“This DANA has caused some ravaged harder to resolve on-premises, so we have to roll up our sleeves and get to work solving the occasional technical problem. We will be closed until further notice,” they expressed on their social networks.
The strong impacts of DANA in Malaga have forced several companies to temporarily close their doors, leaving a marked mark on the local economy. Despite significant economic losses, the solidarity effort and support of the community contribute to the rapid recovery of the city and damaged infrastructure.
