Overview
- El Corte Inglés stores in Valencia and Alicante open on December 7–8 with special hours of 11:00 to 21:00, and plan to open all remaining Sundays and holidays this year except December 25, January 1 and January 6.
- Many city‑centre fashion retailers and department stores operate on the holiday, with Valencia malls such as El Saler, Aqua, Arena and Nuevo Centro running shops as well as dining and leisure on special schedules.
- Metropolitan shopping centres including Gran Turia and Bonaire restrict activity to restaurants and cinemas rather than full retail operations.
- Supermarket openings vary by chain, with Mercadona and Consum closed while selected Carrefour hypermarkets and formats like Carrefour Express, Aldi, Charter and Dia open on adjusted timetables.
- Cinemas and theatres in Valencia offer holiday programming, and the legal framework enabling Sunday and holiday trading applies to outlets located in designated Zonas de Gran Afluencia Turística.
