translation: with the warl in ukraine, electricity started to skyrocket and from that moment, we were overwhelmed. that is the period during which we normally start to stock the ice for the summer. with those prices, the cost of using the refrigeration chambers became unsustainable. some supermarkets have limited the number of ice bags each customer can buy but in many cases, shelves are empty and bars and restaurants are also running out of ice. translation: i have to be really careful, i even have to buy ice bags from corner shops that obviously are more expensive than our regular distributors. i have to look everywhere because we can t get enough ice. spain is not only struggling with ice, the lack of rain for months has left the country very dry. reservoirs are now at 39% of capacity, well below the 10 year average of almost 60% for this time of the year.
