El Port de la Selva will reopen eight bars and restaurants that had closed following the tragic suicide of their owners, with local entrepreneurs stepping in to manage the venues.
In a move reflecting community resilience, El Port de la Selva is set to reopen eight bars and restaurants that had previously closed after the suicide of the couple who owned and operated them. This tragic event, which occurred last August, shocked the local community of around a thousand residents on the Costa Brava, leading to significant economic impacts as the closure accounted for over 22% of the town's dining options, leaving many workers unemployed and hurting local enterprises. The reopening is scheduled just in time for the Easter season, a crucial period for the local economy, benefitting from the involvement of local entrepreneurs who have committed to managing these establishments. Their efforts signify a collective determination to revitalize the area and restore its lively atmosphere, which had been dampened by the earlier incident. This initiative not only aims to revive the town's hospitality sector but also to support the local community that faced emotional and economic challenges. The reopening is expected to reinvigorate local tourism and provide employment opportunities once again, fostering a sense of solidarity and hope amongst the residents of El Port de la Selva.
