Holy Week is in full swing, which also means that many will get to enjoy a few days off. The question is whether shops will remain open during the peak holidays.
Shops and shopping centres in Malaga are authorised to open every day during Holy Week, including Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. What is important to check is whether certain shops have decided to change their working hours.
This means that Larios Centro, Malaga Plaza, Rosaleda, Vialia Malaga-María Zambrano Station, Los Patios, Plaza Mayor and McArthurGlen Designer Outlet and the Malaga Nostrum retail park, as well as large shops such as El Corte Inglés, Ikea, Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, Conforama, Verdecora and Muelle Uno will remain open from 29 March to 5 April.
The following shopping centres in the province will also remain open to the public: Miramar (Fuengirola), Rincón de la Victoria, Puerto Marina in Benalmádena, the El Corte Inglés centres in Mijas and Marbella, La Trocha (Coín), La Verónica (Antequera), La Cañada (Marbella), El Ingenio (Vélez-Málaga) and CostasolCentro (Torremolinos).
Small businesses (with an area of 300 metres or less) can decide whether to open their doors on public holidays, both in Malaga city and in the province.
The 16 Sundays and public holidays with common authorised opening (and with possibility of changes) in the retail sector this year in Andalucía are the following: Sunday, 4 January; Sunday, 11 January; Saturday, 28 February; Thursday, 2 April; Sunday, 3 May; Sunday, 5 July; Sunday, 26 July; Sunday, 2 August; Saturday, 15 August; Monday, 12 October; Monday, 2 November; Sunday, 29 November; Monday, 7 December; Sunday, 13 December; Sunday, 20 December; and Sunday, 27 December.
