Which supermarkets and shops are open in the Murcia Region this bank holiday week?

There are two separate national public bank holidays in Spain this week for the occasion of Constitution Day on Tuesday December 6 and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on Thursday December 8.

The fact that these festivos fall on a Tuesday and Thursday this year means that we have one normal working day, one holiday, one working day, one holiday and Friday is a work day again. On the Monday, Wednesday and Friday, shops, supermarkets, businesses and schools may close if they wish, so it’s a bit confusing to work out which places will be open this week and where you can do your shopping on any given day.
