    Food in SJPDP on Saturday and Sunday (in July)

    Food in SJPDP on Saturday and Sunday (in July)

    I arrive to Biarritz on Saturday, July 14, at 5pm. So, I assume I will be in SJPDP by 7pm. Are the stores still open at that time? I have read somewhere that they don't work on Sundays, is that true? I would prefer to buy food for the next day (Sunday) as I am really unhappy with what I see...

    4 gear questions: Keen sandals, dry sack, Euroschirm umbrella, Macabi skirt
