Supermarket opening hours in Murcia on March 19, Father's Day
Since this Thursday is a public holiday in the Region of Murcia, most of the bigger stores and businesses will alter their opening hours
This Thursday March 19 marks Father's Day and the festival of San José in Spain. As well as its family and religious significance, it is also a public holiday in the Region of Murcia.
