Mercadona, Lidl, Carrefour... opening hours. Which supermarkets are open for St. James the Apostle's Day in Galicia on July 25?

This Friday, July 25, 2025 , marks the Day of St. James the Apostle . This day will not be a holiday throughout Spain, but it will be in four autonomous communities: Galicia, Madrid, Navarre, and the Basque Country. In Galicia, the date has a double meaning, since in addition to honoring the patron saint of Spain, it also commemorates the National Day of Galicia , making July 25 an official holiday throughout Galicia. This circumstance will directly affect the opening hours of the main supermarkets in the region.
