On November 1, All Saints' Day is celebrated, a national holiday that in 2026 falls on a Sunday.
November arrives and, as has been traditional for many years, the first day of the month is dedicated to All Saints. A festive day that this 2026 falls on a Sunday, so many communities have decided to move the holiday to Monday, November 2. Specifically, Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, the Canary Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Extremadura, the Community of Madrid and Navarra have done so.
This long weekend for many of these citizens has made many wonder if supermarkets such as Mercadona, Lidl, Carrefour, among others, operate normally, change their hours or close this November 1.

Carrefour
Carrefour's policy is variable. Supermarkets such as Carrefour Express, and a significant part of the Carrefour Markets usually offer service on both Sundays and holidays.
On the other hand, larger ones have more variable hours and openings conditioned by the regulations and commercial calendar of each territory. It is best to check the official website for the opening of your nearest center.
Lidl and Aldi
Like Mercadona's policy, both Lidl and Aldi keep their supermarkets closed on Sundays in some areas. Therefore, this November 1 you may find yourself without service in smaller towns.
Now, the situation may change if you are in large metropolitan areas like Madrid, where both Lidl and Aldi open their stores until 10 p.m. However, Lidl in Barcelona, Seville and Almería will remain closed this Sunday, as will Aldi in Seville and Almería.

Renfe has issued a new operational instruction that limits Adif's authority in the management of failures of the LZB system. Train drivers must demand confirmation of a clear track and limit speed, after the train crash in Urda that left at least 69 dead.

An error in the Adif Regulation Center caused a collision between an AVE and an Iryo in Urda. The event reopens the debate on safety, the management of failures in signaling systems and whether railway liberalization is overloading the network.

The train accident at the Urda station, caused by a failure in the LZB system and instruction errors, revives the controversy over whether too many High Speed trains circulate in Spain, despite the fact that the Ministry of Transport and Adif defend the capacity of the network.

The train accident at the Urda station, caused by human error after the fall of the LZB system, reopens the controversy over the volume of High Speed trains in Spain and the pressure on Adif's infrastructure.
After the Urda accident, the Col·legi d'Enginyers de Camins de Catalunya urges to 'refound Adif' through a State pact that guarantees stable four-year mandates for its leadership and prioritizes technical rigor over political rigor.

Spain leads high-speed spending in the EU but dedicates only 16% of its funds to maintenance and 84% to new infrastructure, according to a European Commission report, amid concern after the accidents in Urda and Adamuz.
