A couple of times we have been surprised by closed mercados, very busy buses or trains, and full hostals, all because it's a fiesta or holiday. I've seen other posts mentioning the same thing.
In planning for 2011, I looked for something that would outline these fiestas and holidays so that we would be aware and could plan in advance. I downloaded this document outlining 2011 holdays.
I wonder if anyone who lives in Spain or is otherwise more savvy about these holidays would like to comment. Problem is some are local, some are regional, and some are national and in my experience, all of these can result in closed mercados, etc., but I'm not entirely sure.
