About this audio guide
This guide to Mercado de San Agustín in Granada asks why eight sleek units near the entrance, pitched in twenty fourteen as a food-hall makeover to rival the Alhambra crowds, now sit amid butchers, fishmongers and fruit stalls that never needed reinventing. It follows the company handed the concession, San Agustín Gourmet, and what happened within months: workers unpaid since May, suppliers no longer delivering, and shelves left empty. Thirty-six of the market's own merchants signed a formal complaint over marketing fees they say vanished without explanation.
