El Corte Inglés in Méndez Álvaro, south of Madrid, will close its doors on Friday. The shopping center has been open for more than three decades.

More than 600 employees and hundreds of regular customers will pass by Retama Street. There are still many companies in the area and there will be even more in the future, says Felipe Diaz from VivarMUNDO. "We'll see what happens," he says of the future of the area.
