| | Clarification request(s) and responsepatricia scott: 12:54pm Mar 4, 2007: Carol, just to make sure, you're talking of selling, not prostitution?
Carol Gullidge: 1:02pm Mar 4, 2007: Hi Patricia: "actividades productivas" seem to mean economic activity in general. I don't think it's necessarily about prostitution, although some of the women are also forced into it, due to their precarious circomstances. "Ambulatorio" is confusing me - thought that meant "outpatients"!
Álvaro Blanch: 8:12pm Mar 4, 2007: Ambulatorio has different meanings according to context. DRAE 2. Perteneciente o relativo a la práctica de andar. Funny, reminded me of prams, a contracted form of their original name, 'perambulators'. :O)
Carol Gullidge: 3:02pm Mar 8, 2007: This is going to be horribly hard to judge, as I feel that everyone is floundering almost as much as I am. This, I think is the fault of the grammar of the text rather than all of your sterling efforts

Just guessing, but I have a hunch this meant to say lugares ambulantes - moveable, not permanent - not much sense otherwise

| Note from asker to answererthanks, Patricia! It was your "ambulantes" that swung it. As you say, it's hard to make any sense of it otherwise - but I thought that was just me!

Explanation:
Hi Carol,
I feel this may be simply put as an activity, street vending, rather than a direct reference to the physical place, since your text states this activity as an example (como son...)

| such as the places where street vendors usually setup their stalls/offer their products
Explanation:
Carol, I think the example given in your text points to the place where informal economy activities usually take place, sometimes occupying a few blocks in a given area of the city/town of an impoverished country (with or without the municipality's authorization).
