12 from Closed for August

So, during the month of August, just assume Spain is closed.

You want to go to your favorite coffee shop? “See you in September!”

Need a new outfit? “We return September 1st.”

The fish market? “We are on vacation.”

The pharmacy?!?! “Notice, vacation.”

Fruit stand? Handwritten, “We return September, happy vacation!”

And sometimes, a shop’s door is just closed for about a month without a sign. Or the sign is faded. Or illegible.

These “signs” honestly make for a pretty entertaining walk around the city as there are easily hundreds of them. But that also means that almost anywhere you want to go will be closed for the foreseeable future.

*Note that these hours are never accurately advertised on their google listing
