Due To Spanish Law Changes Traditional Small Businesses Are In Danger Of Closure

BARCELONA, SPAIN - JANUARY 05: Lluis Castello, 82, owner of Musical Emporium, works on his cash register during his last day open to the public on January 5, 2015 in Barcelona, Spain. Musical Emporium is a music store founded in 1900 by the grandmother of Lluis Castello who has run the business since 1956. 50,000 shops will shutdown in the next few months due to a law change which allows the landlords to increase the rent without restrictions, affecting more than 200,000 jobs. The shutdown of traditional stores comes among protests against losing a part of the Spain's cultural identity as the spaces will be taken by international franchises.
