Monday, November 2, 2026 is a holiday in much of Spain due to the moving of the celebration of All Saints’ Day, which this year fell on a Sunday. This circumstance directly affects business hours and has led thousands of consumers to wonder which supermarkets are open today and which will allow shopping during the afternoon. The answer varies depending on the autonomous community, the chain, and the specific establishment, since some stores will remain closed throughout the day, others will open only in the morning, and certain outlets will remain open until 21:00 or 22:00 hours.
The main differences are found between the territories that have moved the holiday to Monday and those where today is a working day. While Mercadona maintains its usual policy of closing on holidays, chains such as Carrefour, Aldi, Lidl, Dia and Alcampo have establishments with special hours. In any case, it is advisable to check the conditions of each store before going, especially if you plan to shop at the last minute.
Which supermarkets are open today, Monday, November 2
Mercadona will keep its supermarkets closed in the nine autonomous communities where this Monday is a holiday: Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Canary Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Extremadura, Madrid and Navarra. On the other hand, its stores will generally open in Catalonia, Valencian Community, Galicia, Balearic Islands, Murcia, La Rioja, Cantabria and Basque Country, where November 2 is a working day. In these territories, the chain’s usual hours are between 9:00 and 21:30 hours, although local particularities may exist.
In the case of Carrefour, the situation is different. The chain keeps numerous establishments open during Sundays and holidays, especially in its Carrefour Express and Carrefour Market formats. However, some stores apply reduced hours, with closures around 15:00 hours, while others remain operational throughout the afternoon. Hypermarkets may also open depending on their location and the regional commercial regulations.
Lidl considers openings in selected stores, especially in urban areas and areas with greater commercial activity. Some stores operate only in the morning, between 9:00 and 15:00 hours, while others may extend their activity until 21:00 or 22:00 hours. There is therefore no single schedule for all its supermarkets during this holiday Monday.
For its part, Aldi has also established special hours for the All Saints' bridge. In Madrid, for example, the supermarkets located on avenida de Santa Eugenia, 4, and on calle Cerilleras, 4, have announced their opening from 10:00 to 21:00 hours, while the store on calle Campezo, 12, extends service until 22:00 hours. These time slots correspond to specific stores and should not be extrapolated to the chain as a whole.
Supermarkets open this afternoon: where to shop after 15:00 hours
For those who need to do their shopping during the afternoon, the main recommendation is to look for stores that maintain their full schedule on holidays. Carrefour, Aldi and certain Lidl or Alcampo supermarkets are among the alternatives, although not all their locations will remain open after 15:00 hours.
In the Community of Madrid, in addition to the Aldi supermarkets mentioned, the Alcampo hypermarket in the La Vaguada shopping center publishes an opening schedule from 9:00 to 22:00 hours every day. In other areas, Alcampo also has stores that maintain broad hours, especially in commercial areas with authorized opening during holidays.
The situation of Dia depends largely on the store. Some neighborhood supermarkets and franchise stores may open during the holiday, although it is common to find reduced morning hours, with closures between 14:00 and 15:00 hours. Something similar happens with Ahorramás, which has confirmed openings in certain stores in Madrid, such as the one located on avenida de Rafael Alberti, 8, with hours from 9:00 to 15:00 hours, so it will not be available during the afternoon.
Therefore, being open today does not necessarily mean being open this afternoon. Before going, it is important to check both the date of the holiday and the exact closing time, given that there may be differences even between supermarkets of the same chain located in the same city.
Where it is a holiday today, November 2, and where supermarkets are open as usual
The 2026 labor calendar includes the transfer of All Saints’ Day to Monday, November 2 in nine autonomous communities: Andalucía, Aragón, Asturias, Canarias, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Extremadura, Comunidad de Madrid and Navarra. In these territories, supermarkets may remain closed or adapt their activity to the authorized commercial opening regime.
On the other hand, Cataluña, Comunidad Valenciana, Galicia, Baleares, Cantabria, Murcia, La Rioja and País Vasco, as well as Ceuta and Melilla, keep this Monday as a working day in general terms. In these areas, the main chains resume their usual hours, normally between 9:00 and 21:30 or 22:00 hours, depending on the establishment.
It should also be taken into account that a labor holiday does not necessarily imply the mandatory closure of all businesses. The regulation of commercial openings depends on each autonomous community and allows exceptions. Andalucía, for example, includes November 2 among the Sundays and holidays of authorized commercial opening for 2026, which allows stores to open, although each company decides whether to use that possibility.
