Its been a quiet day today, very few shops open (Mercadona, paper kiosk, pharmacist and garage), bars have left the shutters closed and most people have stayed away from work. Today has seen a strike across the Sierra de Cadiz, as organised by the Union of Andalucian Workers (www.sidicatoandaluz.org) . This action has been in response to what they see as the lack of help and support from the government during the current financial crisis. This area of Spain has been particularly hard hit and has seen unemployment rise to 39%. Already hailed as a great success, future industrial action thought the province is to follow.
