Release edit
Developed as replacement for Mercado Central in the early afternoon slot, the series began airing on 25 January 2021.[5][6] TVE temporarily interrupted the airing of the series in August 2021 because of the broadcasting of the 2021 Vuelta a España.[7] In October 2021, in the wake of the unimpressive viewership ratings, RTVE decided not to renew the series for a second season.[8] This left the broadcasting of the series a margin until a presumed ending date by February 2022 to close the different subplots.[8] The series finale was scheduled for 8 February 2022.[9]
