Re: Santa semana
Not in Albunol and surrounding area they are not open, the local small shops do open for bread etc first thing then shut shortly after, builders merchants etc are all shut.
We are on The Costa Tropical so may be different elsewhere.

Monday 17th (Easter Monday in the UK) is not a public holiday in Murcia, but is in Cataluña, Comunidad Valenciana, La Rioja, Navarra and País Vasco.
Cataluña doesn't get the 13th as a public holiday.
