The August bank holiday is just around the corner. It is one of the most important dates on the calendar, and, given that it is summer, it allows many citizens to take a break even if they are not on holiday.
Many people enjoy the arrival of the long weekend, which falls on a Thursday, and even take advantage of it to ‘extend’ it into the weekend, to travel to places on the coast and get a ‘dose’ of summer in the form of food and beach.
One of the establishments that a priori met this condition is ‘Puerta Matina Baar’, located on Mera beach, in La Coruña. However, the owners of the place have issued a statement on social media announcing that they will close during the long weekend week, from August 12 to 19.
The statement has gone viral for the reason: the people in charge have decided to close the establishment, “tired” of people they call “fools of the plateau” or “mesetarians.” This is what they say in the message on social networks: “Given the imminent arrival of the August 15th long weekend, where if a bomb falls on Mera there will be no fools left on the plateau, we have decided to close Puerto Martina Baar.”
“As we said before, we are tired of the arrogance of these people and we do not want to distort the initial project for what it was conceived for. We apologize for the inconvenience and we hope that from the 20th onwards the panorama will be somewhat clearer,” the statement reads.
They attack the expressions of the “mesetarios”
In the message, the people in charge also criticise the “latest wave” of expressions used by these people, such as “give me 2 Barcelós colas and 4 glasses”, “you’ll have a tortilla pincho to go with the coffee, which I can’t eat on its own” or “apart from macaroni with meat and octopus pie you’ll have other pinchos since I’m celiac and I can’t eat that”.
Previously, on July 31, they also took it out on those they call “mesetarians” and claimed that they live “all year round where you spend your summer”: “We think that this is going to be packed with mesetarians who come up with the phrase ‘what do you have for a snack’ (…) It is not a summer beach bar.”
