When do the stores in Malaga open during the December holiday?

With the start of December comes one of the most anticipated times of the year (aside from Christmas). The long-awaited Immaculate Conception holiday bridge ... this year will allow for a slightly longer weekend than usual, as there will be three days off: Saturday the 6th (Constitution Day), Sunday the 7th as it falls between the two holidays, and Monday the 8th, the feast of the Immaculate Conception.

After kicking off with Black Friday, the retail sector in Málaga begins its Christmas campaign, which involves various extra openings on holidays and Sundays. In fact, they opened on January 30th and this weekend they will also serve the public on Saturday the 6th as well as Monday the 8th of December despite being holidays. However, they will rest on Sunday the 7th, so on this occasion, shopping will be possible on two of the three days that make up this year's December bridge.

Therefore, those who wish can take advantage of the holidays to go shopping in Málaga capital at the Rosaleda, Vialia Málaga-Estación María Zambrano, Málaga Plaza, Larios Centro, Los Patios, Plaza Mayor, and McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Málaga shopping centers, as well as Málaga Nostrum commercial park and large stores like El Corte Inglés, Ikea, Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, Conforama, Verdecora, and Muelle Uno. On the other hand, small businesses (with a surface area of 300 meters or less) have the authority to decide whether to open to the public on these special days or not, both in the capital and throughout the province, all year round.

Mercadona opens on Saturday

Some supermarkets will also open exceptionally, such as Mercadona, which on Saturday the 6th will open to the public during its usual hours exceptionally to resume its activities on Tuesday the 9th.
