is it a bank holiday today in spain

Actually, today is a public holiday in Spain. I was just talking to a supplier earlier this morning and he mentioned that everything is pretty much shut down. It's one of those days where you really shouldn't expect any deliveries or bank transactions to clear until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

I learned the hard way a few years back that you have to keep an eye on their local calendar because they have so many regional and national holidays. It can be a real pain when you are trying to get parts ordered or payments sorted out for a project. Best to just enjoy the break if you are over there, because there's not much you can get done with the offices closed.
