The Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary gives us a national holiday this coming Saturday, August 15. The occasion will feature the traditional procession of the Virgin and raise the question for those staying in Seville: which supermarkets and shopping centers will be open on this holiday.
Large retail stores and shopping centers offer an excellent option for leisure and shopping, as well as being an ideal way to escape the high summer temperatures thanks to their air conditioning.
Although, as a general rule, holidays usually mean that stores are closed, regional regulations regarding authorized holiday openings allow numerous supermarkets, shopping centers, and hypermarkets to open on August 15, both in the city of Seville and its metropolitan area.
