Shop opening on Sundays and holidays in La Rioja

Large shops in La Rioja may open on ten Sundays and holidays a year, set each year by the regional commerce department. Small shops, bakeries, newsstands, florists, fuel stations and convenience shops may open on other days under the free-hours rule.

Why it matters

Most big supermarkets are closed on Sundays and holidays, so you need to know the few days they can open and where small shops still serve you.
