Christmas

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

It' not even  August yet

Mark

In the Fortuna area the following is true - this is Spain so I'm sure there will be local variations!
In the lead up to Christmas the large commercial centres are open on Sunday.
December 25 & 26 and January 6 are National holidays.
Most of the British owned resturants that are open on Christmas day require advanced bookings. Boxing day is a bit more hit and miss.

Thanks Dennis

Dennis, Boxing Day isn't a public holiday in Spain. Supermarkets in our area opened.

According to:http://www.idealspain.com/pages/Information/NationalHolidays.htm
It is (scroll to the end of the list)!

Hola Dennis

We picked up a freebie calendar from Cambank  before xmas & Dec 26th is down as a normal working day & our Lidl's & Mercadona were open. That's Guardamar.

Just goes to show how reliable the internet is!

In Vera, Almeria supermarkets etc were open on the 26th December.

Do be aware that the supermarkets close around mid-day on Christmas Eve.

Also, if you are stayong beyond New Year, January 6th is a Public Holiday & nothing is open.
