Default Grocery Shopping on New Years Day

We are arriving at Costa Esuri on New Year's Day morning (via Faro Airport). I was expecing the supermarkets in Spain to be closed but thought the ones in Portugal may be open. On checking the Pingo Doce website I see they are closed. Are any supermarkets/small grocery shops open on 1 January? Will the mini-market on CE be open?

All advice appreciated.

John.

Hi, NY's day is a Bank Holiday in Spain and Portugal. I don't think you will find any large supermarkets open and the mini-market on CE will not be open. Your best bet would be to ask a friend to get something in for you the day before. Regards Bryony

You may find some basics at the garage at the airport.
