The San Bartolomé City Council has brought the 15th edition of San Bartolomé Weekend Shopping, held on November 28th and 29th, to a resounding success.
More than 70 businesses in the municipality joined "this initiative, already consolidated as one of the most powerful commercial events on the Lanzarote calendar and the main starting point for the Christmas campaign."
This year, 560 active participants and a total of 4,028 entries on the digital platform were registered, which translates to 40,280 euros in direct consumption linked to purchases over 10 euros.
To this figure, an estimated increase of more than 30% is added thanks to unrecorded consumption, especially in the gastronomic sector, which significantly boosts the total impact of the weekend.
The mayor of San Bartolomé, Isidro Pérez, pointed out that this edition once again demonstrates that "the municipality is a benchmark in commercial dynamization" and stated that the Weekend Shopping not only boosts sales but also strengthens the bond between the commercial sector and the attending public, generating a common space that benefits the local fabric as a whole".
For her part, the Councilor for Commerce, Alma González, highlighted that the **involvement of businesses, associations, and collaborating areas** has been fundamental to the results achieved and stressed that every year efforts are made to offer new experiences capable of attracting more people, consolidating an event marked by magic, participation, and economic growth.
The programming kicked off on Friday with the awards ceremony for the 20th Window Dressing Contest, themed "Magic". The third prize went to Sándalo Moda y Hogar, the second to Oswaldo Machín, and the first prize to Muebles San Simón.
Regarding the prizes from the final draw, the trip to a national destination went to Soledad Betancort Quintero, thanks to her purchase at Cordovés y Morales.
Theinternational trip was for Ana Dunia Acosta Morales, who participated after making her purchase at Muebles Rubicón. The Christmas Gourmet Basket, delivered by David Hidalgo Martínez representing La Molina, went to Juan Ramón Morales Guerra, who had made his purchase at Bar La Avenida. The first of the Christmas baskets was for María Laureana Terán Iglesias, who participated with a purchase at Muebles San Simón, while the third Christmas basket was won by Luis Pedro Pérez Pérez thanks to his purchase at Deportes Yajova.
Added to these prizes were more than 2,500 direct rewards that the public obtained through the popular wheel of fortune set up on Avenida Alcalde Antonio Cabrera Barrera, one of the most popular activities of the weekend.
The San Bartolomé Weekend Shopping 2025 is an initiative organized by the Commerce Department of the San Bartolomé City Council, with the collaboration of the Commerce Department of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, and ACEA, presided over by Oswaldo Machín. The action was co-financed by the Chamber of Commerce of Lanzarote and La Graciosa, European funds, and a subsidy from the Government of the Canary Islands aimed at boosting the revitalization of traditional markets and local commerce.
