Supermarket opening hours this November 1 in Spain

This coming Friday is a National Holiday throughout Spain, All Saints’ Day

November 1, All Saints’ Day, is a national holiday in Spain and a date of great religious and family significance up and down the country. Since the holiday falls on a Friday this year, it means a three-day weekend for many people. This, combined with the fact that many families receive their pay checks at the beginning of November, makes it a popular day for shopping. As a result, some supermarkets will open their doors during reduced hours to meet the demand.

Here's a breakdown of the opening hours for some of the major supermarket chains in Spain:

Mercadona

The Valencian chain Mercadona usually closes during the holidays. However, in some areas, especially the tourist hot spots, stores will open for reduced hours, until 3pm. To obtain exact information about the opening hours of your nearest supermarket, we recommend using their handy store finder.

Lidl

Lidl has opted to keep some of its supermarkets open on public holidays, albeit at different times. Many of the German chain's stores will open from 10am and close at 10pm, so it's worth checking the website to confirm the hours of each location.

Carrefour

Carrefour operates in Spain with different store formats (Market, Express, 24 hours), so its opening hours vary depending on the location and type of establishment. Some of its shops will open between 10am and 10pm, while others will remain closed. Customers of the French chain can check the exact opening hours of each store with the Carrefour search engine.

El Corte Inglés

On November 1st, El Corte Inglés will open some of its stores in major cities such as Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia, between 11am and 10pm. As always, it is advisable to check on its official website if your local store will be available during these hours.

Supercor

Supercor, part of the El Corte Inglés group, will maintain its usual opening hours on public holidays, from 9am to 10pm, although some stores won’t open until 10am. To find out the opening hours of each supermarket, you can check the Supercor search engine.

Aldi

Meanwhile, the German chain Aldi will open some of its stores on November 1, with opening hours usually from 10am to 10pm. Since not all of its stores will be operational, it is recommended to check the opening hours on the Aldi website.

Día

The Spanish chain Día will maintain its usual opening hours in most of its stores, from 9am to 9.30pm, although this will again depend on the location of each store. Customers can check the specific opening hours of their local supermarket through the Día search engine.

In the case of Alcampo, the opening hours will depend on each area, as some will open during reduced holiday hours, while others will remain closed. Users can access their store finder to confirm the opening hours of their nearest establishment.
