Public Holidays in Spain

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS IN SPAIN - When living or vacationing on the Costa del Sol it is important to be familiar with the Spanish public holidays. These public holidays in Spain are taken quite seriously by local businesses and most stores and shops will be closed to observe the holiday. Make sure you fill the refrigerator and get whatever supplies you need before the holiday to avoid disappointment. I have driven all the way to IKEA to find it all locked up due to local holiday. Very disappointing indeed.
