Unless there are any pandemic restrictions, stores are looking to recover in December. Therefore, commerce will open normally in Barcelona during the last month of the year, even on public holidays.
And proof of the influx of public is to see throughout last weekend, the stores in the city center full of people.
Although not all of them are buying. According to the Barcelona Commercial Association, Oberta, during the first days of December turnover has been lower compared to last year.
However, retailers will be open every day in the hope that sales will increase in the week leading up to Christmas.
On December holidays, commerce will open as usual in Barcelona
Full opening began on December 4, 6 and 8.
The city’s commercial establishments will also open on December 12, the day selected by the City Council to strengthen the Christmas shopping campaign.
Then, on December 19, the premises will not close either, in response to the order of the Generalitat de Catalunya to give continuity to the economic activity.
Businesses in tourist areas will be open on December 25 and 26 to celebrate Christmas and St. Stephen’s Day.
Businesses will be open from 12:00 noon to 8:00 pm.
Just keep in mind that the commercial sector is very aware that due to the arrival of the Omicron variant and a probable increase in infections, the Generalitat could re-impose more mobility restrictions.
