Translation of competitiveness in Spanish

We made a little walk into the main street of the town and were looking for a nice place to eat. This time we settled for an Indian restaurant close to the restaurant we were a night earlier.
The city seemed to be small but busy and many building were new. It looked like a third world country village with four and five star hotels. The infrastructure was still bad, but one could see development.
We arrived in there again at night, it was cold and the town was empty. There were few tourist hanging around, but most restaurants and bars were empty. We looked for an hotel and found on immediately.
