News of the finance

Next Thursday, November 1st is Todos los Santos, or Tosantos in Andaluz (i.e. All Saints' Day) and a national bank holiday all over Spain. It being a Thursday, chances are it will also be a puente (bridge). Schools will be closed from Thursday to Sunday, and probably many of the smaller shops. Banks are open on Friday, however.

This is the day on which the cemeteries are crowded with visitors, presumably in the hope that one's ever-resting relatives have become saints. In any case, the last few weeks have been used to tidy up the nichos ('shelves'?) where they rest.
