So i hear that Spain is going to the polling stations on June 26th, i will be travelling on the Frances at this time, can anybody advise as to what services close during General Elections in Spain - does life go on as normal? should i prepare better for this day?

For pilgrims purposes, it's like any other Sunday. The only exception that comes to my mind is that if someone has a business that opens on Sundays and it's just runned by himself or herself (i.e.: no employees) and is finally called to be part of the polling table/desk, s/he'll have to close his/her business that Sunday.
