That's where they all were

Did you go to the opening of the new El Corte Inglés in Elche?

By the time it was ready to open there were apparently hundreds waiting by the door. Some had gone to shop; many had gone just to see what the new building was like inside. By 10 o'clock 800 people had entered the store. By 11 you couldn't find a seat anywhere in the coffee shop. The first 2,500 customers were given a red rose.

El Corte Inglés were expecting many more people to arrive later in the day and of course today it will be very busy.

I'm sure it will be a good place to visit once things have calmed down.
