Grocery stores open on Sunday?
Culebra, Puerto Rico

We will be arriving on a Sunday for our first visit (February). Are any of the groceries stores open on Sundays? Is the bakery open on Sunday? Also, the Monday after we arrive is President's Day- are stores open or closed on that day?
Thanks for the replies!
Ann

The only market I know that is closed on Sunday is Superette Mayra.
Milka, Isla Sol, Genesis (I don't know about a couple of little markets I know about but don't use very often) are open. Milka closes between 12:30 and 1 (maybe later?) Isla Sol I don't know, and Genesis closes late afternoon. Before anyone asks...Genesis is the market located on the way out to Zoni (WAY before that but...in that direction). After the first hill, at the bottom of it, is a road with a left turn (right if coming from Zoni area, obviously). Go to the end of the street, you are there. Wonderful market for many basics and more.
I think it's a pretty safe bet that nothing closes for President's day unless it is a government holiday (is it?) and the PO and banks would be closed, not the stores.

Thanks for your reply. I am glad to hear that we will be able to get supplies on Sunday. Actually President's Day is listed in guidebooks as a commonwealth holiday in Puerto Rico- it gets swallowed up by Mardi Gras holidays where I live so it is not a big deal but I did not know if businesses would close on Culebra that day or not.
Thanks again for your help. We are really looking forward to our trip!!
