From San Clemente to Mar del Plata, hundreds of workers walk the beach daily to sell churros. These vendors arrive from northern Argentina and organize with their own rules and hierarchies to survive on the coast.
On Argentina's Atlantic Coast, churro vendors face daily challenges to sustain themselves. According to a TN report, these workers, originating from northern Argentina, walk the beaches on foot from San Clemente to Mar del Plata. Every day, hundreds of them traverse the sand, selling their products in a competitive environment.
Organization among the vendors is crucial for their survival. They follow rules and hierarchies established by themselves, allowing them to coordinate efforts and avoid conflicts. This informal system reflects the reality of many street workers in coastal tourist areas.
The report highlights how these vendors adapt their routines to summer demands, when tourist traffic peaks. However, the precarious conditions underscore the need for greater support for these informal entrepreneurs.
