If you’re staying in Seville and need to stock up—whether to relax or celebrate a meal with friends—we’ve rounded up the major chains that are closed this Friday and those that are open during the holiday.
Some stores—especially “Express” locations or those in tourist areas—will remain open. Here’s a quick guide to where to shop this holiday Friday in Seville.
