The "walkers" in Ceuta have generated their own economy on El Trampolín beach, where informal businesses have been established selling everything from juices and cigarettes to offering services like hairdressing and mobile phone top-ups. This community, which often receives aid from the Red Cross, operates a barter system, and their presence has forced supermarkets to increase surveillance. In addition to this dynamic on the beach, other changes are being observed, such as a shortage of cement and the boom in local labor for repairs. The city is experiencing intense and strange activity, marked by the appearance of makeshift settlements and social tension, although the notable absence of children in this new landscape is pointed out.
