Opening hours
Most shops open between 09.30 and 13.30h in the morning and 17.00 to 20.00h
in the afternoon on weekdays. During the summer months, many establishments
will stay open much later in the evening. On Saturday opening hours are
restricted to the morning shift and Sunday is literally the day of rest.
Larger establishments, department stores and supermarkets will stay open all
day, Saturday included, and are allowed to open on the first Sunday of every
month.
Banks open a little earlier in the morning, around 08.30h, but close for the
day at 14.00h. Some branches open on Thursday evening (e.g. Caja Madrid) or
Saturday morning. Each bank normally has a small plaque outside its offices
indicating any special opening hours.
