Hi,

We are coming on holiday to Javea on 30 September - 14th October staying in a villa close to the Old Town.

Can anyone advise me which (if any) supermarkets will be open on a Sunday please?  We visited several years back and I remember we struggled to find anywhere open.

We also have family joining us from Monday 9th October which I think may be a local holiday and if so how will this effect the supermarkets as we will want to stock up for their arrival?  

Thanks

Deb

Supermarkets in non designated tourist areas only open on Sundays from middle of June to middle of September. If in a tourist area they open Sundays during middle of June to first week in January. Consum Javea shows they are open on Sundays from 9 to 2:30 until 10th September and then close on Sundays.

Small shops, depending on their size, can open Sunday mornings.

National holidays (red days) they generally close but local holidays they normally open reduced hours like 10 to 2:30 although Aldi and Lidl tend to open all day.

These are the rules applicable to everywhere in the Valencia Region.

Opening times will be displayed on the supermarket website (eg mercadona.es or consum.es etc with your postcode) and on notices inside and outside the shops.
