A dispute is underway in Barcelona between restaurateurs and the distribution company Mercadona. The Gremio, a group representing restaurateurs, has filed a complaint against 30 of Mercadona's merchants, accusing them of "intrusismo". The complaint suggests that Mercadona's merchants are operating in areas not designated for restaurant services.

Further details on this developing story are available from El Mundo, including statements from Mercadona defending their practices, describing the areas in question as zones for rest and other uses, rather than restaurant zones.
