A practical guide to opening hours


This is your guide to the adaptation of your retail outlets' openings times in line with Catalan regulation. The act on opening hours allows outlets to open for a maximum of 12 hours a day between the hours of 7 am and 10 pm, up to 72 hours a week at the most. Such outlets are required to remain closed on Sundays and public holidays and to bring forward their closing time to 8 pm on 24 and 31 December. Retailers may freely distribute their daily opening times within these limits. Aside from certain exceptions depending on the type of outlet, retail establishments may generally open on a maximum of 8 Sundays or public holidays throughout the year, acording to the calendar established by the Generalitat.
