Last Friday brought to the end a 6 month battle between shopkeepers and the Local Government over opening hour restrictions. The issue has been over declaring the City Center of Santa Cruz as a designated Tourist Area, which in effect makes the area exempt from restricted opening hours.
The number of visitors visiting the Capital on a daily basis have increased enormously over the last twelve months, especially with the growing number of Cruise Liners visiting the port for their daily stopovers. The new Mayor Jose Manuel Bermudez said the decision was a massive boost to Santa Cruz, and would inject new life into the Centre, especially on Sundays.
