Depending what time you arrive you could place an online order beforehand for delivery on Friday after you arrive?

we'll be arriving quite late on Friday so not sure that online delivery would work...but great idea I never thought of it...also garage idea is a good one...do they stay open over public holidays?.......when is the actual public holiday is it just on the Monday or is it Friday and Saturday as well...or does everythink just shut down in the lead up to the Monday !!

Which Sanlucar ? Barrameda, La Mayor, Guadiana

as to getting fed no se will have to look at our local shops to see what they are doing, but our local Shell does fresh baked bread and other food stuffs.

Shops will be open on Sat and a lot open on the Sunday for a while instead of Monday.

Feeling reassured already...worried that I'd come back a size 0 (I wish).....it's Barrameda !
