Long Weekend Alert: Get Ready for the Spanish ‘Puente.’
A heads-up for shoppers and businesses alike: this weekend is anything but normal!
The weekend includes national holidays, also known as “red days,” which cause a significant shift in the usual patterns of shopping and business transactions.
The long weekend begins on Saturday, with a very special and significant Spanish national day. This is followed by Sunday, which is the typical non-working day.
Saturday: National Public Holiday
Sunday: Standard Weekend Day
Monday: Religious Public Holiday
Expect significant changes to regular operating hours. Many shops, banks, and businesses will be closed or operating with limited hours on Saturday and Monday. If you intend to run errands or make purchases, it is highly recommended that you check opening hours in advance to avoid disappointment.
