The Navia food market will be fully operational in the coming weeks after its transformation to modernize the facilities and guarantee its future. "All the premises have already been awarded," explained the mayor, the socialist Ignacio Palacios a few days ago after closing the tender for the award of vacant positions. At the moment, a total of eleven businesses will occupy the fourteen spaces that this commercial hub has. A fishmonger, a tavern and a take-out shop will be added to the butcher shop, greengrocer, hairdresser, embroidery shop, gastrottore, gluten-free products shop, wool stall and garment arrangement that are already installed on the premises. . "This is a new stage, with new merchants and new projects, all very exciting," says the town councilor.

The merchants and neighbors celebrate the maintenance and improvement actions that have been carried out for a couple of weeks in this commercial area to offer a new, more modern image that will give more life to the heart of the town. "We want to see the final result," they highlight. «Only the soil will be conserved, the rest will be changed everything. They are scheduled to end by December bridge, "says the owner of Frutería Marisol, Alfonso González, who also warns of the" many "humidity problems they have, despite the fact that the City Council acted on different occasions. The most significant were the repair of the roof and the renovation of the floor. Despite this, he says, “the problem of leaks is still in the common areas. In the premises we have been solving it because we cannot be with buckets and with the water falling on the merchandise ", explains Griselda Fernández, owner of Bordados Sela and who has been installed in the food market for four years.

"A nursery of projects"
The solution to the problem of leaks that merchants have suffered for years will still have to wait. The mayor of Navarre has advanced that the local government is already working on a project to cover and isolate in a "more forceful" way the square located above the food market. "The next thing will be to cover the entire square so that there are no leaks and that it is as hermetic as possible," he explained.

With more than three decades of operation, the Navia food market until a few years ago focused its activity on three food spaces. It was in 2013, thanks to a boost from the government team, when other sectors were allowed to enter. Rental prices were also reduced, as well as their validity, going from having a duration of 25 years to being annual. "For us it is like a kind of incubator for ideas and projects with a very low rental price to come forward," explains Palacios. The rents of the low are currently between 50 and 60 euros. Customers highlight the quality of the products, as well as the attention. "The treatment here is different from the department stores, it is very personalized and that is appreciated", points out Paula García, who attends daily.
