These stores and shopping centres are open this September 13 in the Region of Murcia
Here’s where you can shop in the Region of Murcia this Sunday despite it being a normal rest day
September can be an expensive month, particularly for families getting children ready to go back to school. Books, uniforms, shoes, bags and school supplies can quickly add up, while the return from the summer holidays often leaves little time for getting everything organised.
That makes this Sunday September 13, particularly useful for anyone who can't get to the shops during the week.
The date is one of the Region of Murcia's designated festivos de libre apertura. These are special Sundays and public holidays when shops are authorised to open even though they would normally be closed.
The dates are chosen each year by the regional government, with some falling during periods when retailers expect more demand from shoppers and tourists.
So, which shops and shopping centres will be open across the Region of Murcia this Sunday September 13?

El Corte Inglés stores in Murcia and Cartagena will open from 11am to 9pm.
