<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Which supermarkets in Spain are open this May Bank Holiday weekend 2022?

Sunday May 1, 2022 is a national holiday in Spain because it is Mayday, also known as Labour Day and International Workers’ Day.

In some regions of Spain, the bank holiday is being transferred to Monday May 2, so it will be a day off work and school for many people.

The autonomous communities in Spain that will have a bank holiday on Monday May 2 are:

Andalucía
Madrid
Murcia
Aragón
Castilla y León
Asturias
Extremadura

Over the bank holiday weekend, the opening hours of certain supermarkets may be subject to some changes. These are the opening times of Spain’s main supermarkets this weekend:

Mercadona

Mercadona’s normal opening hours are Monday to Saturday from 9am to 9.30pm and they are closed on Sundays and public holidays. For this reason, Mercadona will be closed on Sunday May 1 everywhere in Spain and on Monday May 2 in the autonomous communities observing the national holiday on that day.

Lidl

Lidl usually opens from Monday to Saturday between 9am and 10pm, while on Sundays some shops reduce their opening hours and open only from 10am to 3pm or from 10am to 10pm.

Aldi

Aldi supermarkets normally open from Monday to Saturday from 9am to 10pm and on Sundays and public holidays from 10am to 10pm. This means that many Aldi stores will be open all this weekend, but some supermarkets in certain locations are closed on Sundays and public holidays, so it’s advisable to check the opening hours of each individual shop for both May 1 and 2.

Dia

Dia supermarkets are usually open from 8.30am to 10pm or from 9am to 9.30pm from Monday to Saturday, while on Sundays most of them are open in the morning. On Sunday May 1 and on May 2, in those communities where it is a public holiday, the opening hours may also be reduced in most of them, or they may even remain closed, so you may want to check the opening hours of your local shop in particular.

Alcampo

The opening times for Alcampo supermarkets are Monday to Saturday from 9am to 10pm or from 8.30am to 9pm, depending on the shop. Most of them also usually open on Sundays and on public holidays, so Alcampo supermarkets should remain open this bank holiday weekend, both in regions where it is a public holiday and in regions where it is not. In any case, it is a good idea to double check the opening hours of each specific Alcampo shop, as these may vary depending on location.

Hipercor

Hipercor supermarkets normally open from Monday to Sunday from 9am or 10am to 10pm. However, on Sunday May 1, many branches of Hipercor will be closed to the public, and on Monday May 2, in areas where it is a bank holiday, they may be closed or have reduced opening hours from 11am to 9pm.

Carrefour

Carrefour is normally open on Sundays and public holidays, but some Carrefour supermarkets do have reduced opening hours on these days while others are closed. The best advice is to check the opening times of your local Carrefour for this May bank holiday weekend 2022.
