Supermarket and store opening hours in the Region of Murcia this Three Kings weekend

Monday January 6 is a national holiday across Spain so most shops will remain closed

As the Christmas holidays draw to a close, one final celebration remains to wrap up the season, especially for children: Three Kings. This year, Monday January 6 is the day many families across Spain eagerly anticipate. Children wake up to find the gifts they wished for under the tree, delivered by Their Majesties, after enjoying the spectacular parades held nationwide on Sunday January 5.
