Barcelona Oberta states it has detected a "generalized decrease" in visitor numbers and sales in shops during the summer due to construction work in the city and the resulting mobility and accessibility difficulties. In a statement published this Thursday, based on a survey of different commercial areas, the organization warns that the impact of the work goes beyond establishments located next to a construction site. "When construction affects the main access corridors, the consequences on mobility can affect the entire commercial activity of the city," the organization warns.
