Overview
- On Wednesday, June 24, chains adjusted hours for the San Juan regional holiday with Mercadona closing most stores in Valencia, Catalonia and Galicia while running selected tourist‑area outlets on reduced hours (about 09:00–15:00).
- Large Valencia shopping centres and El Corte Inglés are open from 11:00 to 21:00 because Zonas de Gran Afluencia Turística (ZGAT) let malls and department stores trade on holidays.
- Other supermarket chains took different approaches: Carrefour hypermarkets and Carrefour Express and Aldi opened; Lidl and Dia remained closed; Consum kept its Chárter-format stores operating.
- Local listings in Vigo showed major national chains such as Mercadona, Alcampo, Carrefour, Eroski and Dia closed there while smaller and express stores (for example Carrefour Express, Spar Express, Merca Express and local chains) stayed open with varied hours.
- Shoppers were directed to company tools and local guides to find open outlets since Mercadona published a summer‑hours schedule and a store searcher and some malls outside Valencia limited activity to leisure and restaurants.
