In the mythical Pandora bar, where All the songs speak of me was filmed, Beatriz Villacorta was left without a voice on Saturday.

"You can't get the drink out, how come you don't know?

I told you when you came in."

She is in charge of the bar

"and all this brown".

She argues with one and the other, screams so they can hear her because she literally has no voice: "They're going to kill me and I understand them."

Those who frequent San Isidro know that "drinks have always been available from the bar."

For 25 years,

the hoteliers have placed the bars on the street

where they could sell alcohol directly.

Until this year.

The ordinance establishes that alcohol cannot be sold on the street if it is not a fairground and

Las Vistillas does not have that status

.

Last Thursday they reached an agreement with the councilor of the central district, José Fernández Sánchez.

But it was an unspoken pact.

“We understood that we could sell on the street.

A policeman on Thursday morning told us yes, and on Friday as soon as we opened, several agents approached on motorcycles and warned us that

if we sold outside they would fine us

».

It is told by Sergio Molina, owner of the bar that Pandora has next door, Dry Madrid.

He does have a voice, but he shares the same feeling as Bea.

These parties, he says frustrated, account for

"70% of the fortune of the bars

. "

At 12 noon on Saturday night, the store's blinds had already been lowered.

And Beatriz thought about it: «I'm sick.

Bad for the losses and this afternoon I thought 'I'll close it and that's it'».

But "it would be to lose more."

Before, "I melted them down in one day, and yesterday I had to return half the barrels I had ordered."

Pandora's manager says it overwhelmed because a boy next to her blames her for not being able to get her drink.

«I have never entered a bar to drink in any San Isidro.

We are crazy?

It doesn't make sense”, complains one of Pandora's customers.

It's San Isidro and you drink the same.

The Police surround the streets of the Vistillas so that no one passes with alcoholic beverages.

Although there are groups consuming alcohol.

Oscar Lucas, president of the Association of Latin American Entrepreneurs, complains about the lack of foresight by the City Council this year and affirms that "people then

drink from food bazaars

or supermarkets, but they also do it on the street."

At 11:30 p.m., while the owner of Dry Madrid decided to lower his blind, the Plaza de los Carros was packed with dozens of people

drinking

.
