Málaga's shops bid farewell to summer with the last Sunday opening

Summer, according to the calendar, officially ended a few days ago. And this Sunday, it will also end for commercial purposes in Málaga, as the permits for store openings in the High Tourist Influx Zones (ZGAT) expire. The activation of this status has allowed shopping centers in certain localities to open every day since last June 1st, without closing even on Sundays (or holidays).

Since then, stores located in Málaga city as well as in Marbella, Mijas, Benalmádena, Estepona, Fuengirola, Manilva, Nerja, Rincón de la Victoria, Torremolinos, Algarrobo, and Vélez-Málaga have remained open.

However, this authorization will end on the upcoming 28th, making it the last time (for now) that it will be possible to go shopping on a Sunday in Málaga city at the Larios Centro, Málaga Plaza, Rosaleda, Vialia Málaga-Estación María Zambrano, Los Patios, Plaza Mayor, and McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Málaga shopping centers, as well as Málaga Nostrum commercial park, and stores like El Corte Inglés, Ikea, Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, Conforama, Verdecora, and Muelle Uno.

Upcoming special openings

After the end of the summer season, the shops will have a brief break from extra openings in Málaga until Monday, October 13, when they will open specially again due to the National Day celebration (October 12) being moved to that Monday this year as it falls on a Sunday.
