Christmas is here and the end of one of the three main days of these festivities where we celebrate the birth of baby Jesus, New Year’s Eve and the Three Wise Men. In 2022, due to the fact that the main holidays, December 25 and January 1, fall on a Sunday, in most Autonomous Communities it is moved to the next business day, which is Monday, December 26 and January 2, so the weekends are a little longer.
This transfer from the holiday to Monday means that most companies and establishments do not open, so many people wonder if supermarkets, mainly Mercadona and Lidl, open on Monday the 26th or not. In this article we tell you where they open and why.
And it is that this year Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, so in many autonomous communities the holiday has passed the next day. Of course, this decision has only been agreed in some autonomous communities.
