Court
Several outdoor commercial areas located between the Central zone and the Southern zone of the city of Cochabamba are called La Cancha. This commercial space is one of the largest in Bolivia; it sells from basic foods to second-hand cars of different brands, street vending and informal commerce - a result of the informal economy - being the main activities.
Markets
This area covers five markets known as:
- "La Pampa" Market (principal)
- "Alejo Calatayud" Market
- "Fidel Aranibar" Market
- "La Paz" Market
- San Antonio Market.
There are also markets and private shopping centers such as the 'El Gallo' Shopping Center. and Shopping Center "Cochabamba" among others.
Fair Days
Fair days are called those days in which commercial activity is abundant compared to the other days of the week. These days are Wednesdays and Saturdays. Economic activity in this sector is active every day of the week but the increase in products, merchant buyers and consumers reaches its greatest peak on "fair days".
Informal and street commerce
The fair has a large number of merchants who offer a large number of products, this activity identified as informal commerce is criticized as immersed in disorder, and as a subsistence activity.
The future
The high concentration of sellers and buyers has meant the saturation of urban spaces - roads, sidewalks, green areas - generating criticism and requests for intervention from citizens with the aim of mitigating the problems generated such as: large amounts of waste deposited on the roads, traffic congestion and inconvenience when moving. Merchants established in the sector have rejected projects to reorganize activities in infrastructures of more than one level. Although this is being improved I am in charge of salespeople, no one who leaves their jobs to support their family, even if they have more than 5 places to sell, they invade the streets, making it difficult for cars to travel. >http://www.opinion.com.bo/opinion/articulos/2011/1006/noticias.php?id=27615</ref>
