Hi all, 

Is there a bank holiday in Benijofar on April 29th 2019? I've searched on the internet and can't find any information about it. I'm coming over to sign some legal papers and my solicitor has written to me to say everything will be shut on that day including the notary and the banks. Is this so? 

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Elena

Thank you John56. So I gather that Monday 29th April is not a bank holiday and it's a normal working day. This doesn't give me much faith in the solicitor we are dealing with then 😨

Thank you RayD for the information and the links. Does this indeed mean that due to the fiesta of San Vicente all banks and notary offices will be shut?
