Easter 2023 has begun. These are special days, vacations for millions of Spaniards, many of whom have not hesitated to pack their bags to visit other regions of the country. Because the holidays are different in each autonomous community, except for the national holiday of Good Friday, shopping on these days is not always an easy task. It is time to pay attention to the schedule policy and the plans of the main supermarkets in Spain on these dates.
The Mercadona supermarket chain has a policy of not opening on Sundays and holidays. In view of Easter 2023, in addition to Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, all the establishments of the Valencian chain in Spain will remain closed on Good Friday. Nor will they open on Holy Thursday in those autonomous communities that are a holiday, that is, that only stores in Catalonia and the Valencian Community will open. However, there are a few exceptions of stores open until noon on Good Friday in some places with a high influx of tourists, so it is recommended to consult the Mercadona store search engine (regular business hours: from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.: 30 hours).
Carrefour establishments tend to open on Sundays and some holidays, including Good Friday, always depending on the number of weekends and holidays with business hours approved by each autonomous community. There will be hypermarkets, as well as other types of establishments such as Carrefour Express, which open throughout Holy Week and others that will close on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and even on Easter Monday.
