AC Miramar

Yes! It does exist, and it can be very anoying sometimes. Small stores do close from 1:30 (sometimwa 2 or 2:30) until 4 (or even 5), for lunch. And they are very strick with their time. If you are in a store at closing time, you will be kickced out. Most places don´t open until 9 or 10, and close at 8 or 9. So plan accordingly. Restaurants, and stroes at Ramblas do stay open, but ask at a Tourist Information Center or Hotel if you are in doubt so you can take advantage of all your time and vacation. Oh yes! Sundays are a rest day also. And in August, you won´t be able to find to much either!
