Do stores in Malaga open this holiday Monday, October 13th?

This year, the Hispanic Day holiday falls on a Sunday, so many will be able to enjoy a longer weekend than usual as the celebration of October 12th is moved to the following day, Monday the 13th. And what happens in the commerce sector in Málaga? Well, they will raise their shutters despite it being a holiday, as it is one of the authorized holidays to do so according to the opening calendar approved for 2025.

Thus, in the capital, it will be possible to go shopping 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 the Málaga Nostrum commercial park, El Corte Inglés, Ikea, Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, Conforama, Verdecora, and Muelle Uno.

In the province, the Miramar (Fuengirola), Rincón de la Victoria, Puerto Marina Shopping in Benalmádena, El Corte Inglés centers in Mijas and Marbella, La Trocha (Coín), La Verónica (Antequera), La Cañada (Marbella), El Ingenio (Vélez-Málaga), and Centro Comercial CostasolCentro (Torremolinos) shopping centers will also be able to open.

For their part, small shops (with an area of 300 meters or less) have the authority to decide whether to serve the public on these extra days or not, both in the capital and in the province.

Thus, of the three days of this Pilar bridge, shopping will be possible on two (Saturday and Monday), since on Sunday the shops will remain closed after the deactivation of the High Tourist Influx Zones (ZGAT), which has allowed various towns in the province, as well as in Málaga capital, for shopping centers to have been able to open every day from June 1 to September 28, without closing even one.
