For example, August 16 is Restoration Day and falls on a Sunday. Will banks and stores be closed on the Monday thereafter?

What about September 24 (Our Lady of Las Mercedes), which falls on a Thursday this year? Will Thursday be the day off? I ask because some countries (UK) have rules that push holidays either forward or backward to create a 3-day weekend.
