Christmas shutdown in VW factory spain?

[Toffee]

Not sure if anyone would know the answer to this but... When getting an update from my dealer about the polo gti I ordered, they mentioned that the factory was closed until the 17th of jan (fair enough they need breaks too), meaning there was a halt in production. Is this just a bit of bs or is it fact?

Cheers

From memory this holiday is observed worldwide as I was told the same thing for the Tiguan built in Wolfsburg.

Thanks for that

Didn't think the Spanish could afford a holiday as they're in a fair bit of financial hardship.

I recall reading somewhere that a factory was starting 2011 builds in the second week of the year (so 10th January), it may vary from factory to factory but I suspect there was some kind of halt over the christmas period for all factories.
