Welcome to August
Agosto Spain is closed. Do not attempt to buy a house, get a new kitchen put in, renew your driving licence, make an insurance claim, see a doctor, give birth…
While 95 per cent of the population is on holiday, those who work in the tourist industry are busy “making their August”, i.e. making a killing/bomb/packet. The expression ‘hacer el agosto’ originally referred to harvest time, in particular to the casual labourers hired during this period who, in a bumper year, could make enough money to see them through the winter.
