On the first day of the carnival holiday, Salinas, in the province of Santa Elena, gradually registers the arrival of tourists from different parts of the country.
From the morning of this Saturday, February 26, the movement was activated in the areas near the spa. Merchants and street vendors of all kinds of articles stationed themselves on the part of the beach and boardwalk to wait for visitors.

The merchant José Yagual said that this holiday will serve to “recover from the economic situation that has not been the best in recent years.” He has the expectation of improving his sales during this holiday and that, in this way, his economic situation will improve.
In the restaurants of some hotels near the boardwalk, it was decided to offer promotions and combos for tourists.
For example, offers were applied to the breakfast and lunch menus and in special dishes the price was reduced to values lower than those of the pre-pandemic. “Here we have breakfasts and lunches at $3.50 with two kinds of main course, seafood or meat or chicken,” said Miriam, who works for one of the hotels that offer food in the town.
In the Salinas bakeries, although the price of bread has risen by $0.05, there has been a high movement since the morning. Travelers opted to stock up for breakfast. In the case of supermarkets, which also registered an influx of users, attention was extended. The Mi Comisariato chain, for example, detailed through its social networks that from February 25 to 28, its establishments located in Playas, Salinas and Ballenita will be open until 11:00 p.m. for the convenience of visitors.
