Spain Public Holidays
Spain has 10 national public holidays on the list below for 2026, but it does not have one calendar: the spanish calendar is re-fixed every year and varies by region. Over the years covered here the calendar draws on 10 recurring holidays. 9 sit on the same calendar date every year, while 1 moves (Linked to Easter). On top of that, 24 further public holidays are observed in some autonomous communities only.
Which public holidays does Spain have?
Every recurring national public holiday, how its date is decided, and the date it lands on in 2025, 2026 and 2027. Dates are computed from the rule, so Easter-linked and moon-linked holidays are correct for each individual year.

Which Spanish holidays are national and which are regional?
Spain sets a maximum of fourteen paid public holidays a year. Some of them are national and cannot be moved, but autonomous communities may substitute several of them for their own days, and the calendar for each year is published by BOE resolution in the autumn of the year before. A national holiday that falls on a Sunday transfers to the following Monday, which is why 12 October 2025 was not the day off but 13 October was. A single national list is therefore an approximation for any given region.
The table above is the national calendar. Separately, this dataset tracks 19 autonomous communities of Spain, and 24 further public holidays are observed in some of them but not nationwide in 2026. If you are planning around a specific place, add the relevant rows below to the national list.

Regional coverage is only as complete as the underlying open dataset, so treat this as a strong indication rather than a legal source. Confirm with the relevant local or regional authority in Spain before you rely on a single date.
Which holidays move each year, and why?
1 of the 10 recurring holidays lands on a different date each year. Here is the rule behind each group.
Same date every year (9)
The holiday is tied to one calendar date, so it lands on a different weekday each year but never changes date. In Spain this covers New Year's Day, Epiphany, Labour Day, Assumption and Fiesta Nacional de España, plus 4 more.
Linked to Easter (1)
The date is counted from Easter Sunday, which is the Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon falling on or after 21 March, so it swings between late March and late April. In Spain this covers Good Friday.
When is the next public holiday in Spain?
The next 5 holidays on the 2026 calendar.
| Holiday | Date | Weekday |
|---|---|---|
| Fiesta Nacional de España | Monday | |
| All Saints' Day | SundayWeekend | |
| Día de la Constitución Española | SundayWeekend | |
| Immaculate Conception | Tuesday | |

Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Spain have?
Spain has 10 national public holidays in 2026 and 10 in 2027. The total can differ from year to year because holidays that fall on a weekend sometimes gain a substitute day, and because moon-based and Easter-based dates occasionally shift in or out of a calendar year.
Which Spanish public holidays fall on the same date every year?
Nine of them: New Year's Day (January 1), Epiphany (January 6), Labour Day (May 1), Assumption (August 15), Fiesta Nacional de España (October 12) and All Saints' Day (November 1), plus 3 more. These are pinned to a calendar date, so only the weekday changes from year to year.
Which public holidays in Spain change date each year?
One do: Good Friday. The reasons are linked to easter, so the Gregorian date has to be recalculated for every year rather than copied forward.
Are there regional public holidays in Spain?
Yes. Besides the national list, 24 public holidays are observed in some autonomous communities only, for example Maundy Thursday in Andalucía, Easter Monday in Cataluña and Saint Joseph in Comunidad Foral de Navarra. The year calendars on this site show national holidays only, so add the relevant regional dates on top.
What happens when a public holiday in Spain falls on a weekend?
This dataset records no substitute days for Spain, so every date listed here is the holiday itself rather than a replacement weekday. That is not the same as saying none is granted: a number of countries move a weekend holiday onto a working day under national labour law without that rule being captured in the underlying data, so check a local source whenever a holiday lands on a Saturday or Sunday.
How to use this page
Public holidays shape the working year in Spain, closing many offices, banks and public services and shifting the rhythm of travel and shopping. If you are scheduling a delivery, a launch or a meeting with a Spanish team, the table at the top is the quickest check: it shows every recurring holiday side by side across 2025, 2026 and 2027, so you can see at a glance which dates are stable and which need looking up again next year. Where a holiday falls on a weekend and is taken on another day, it appears once, on the day off, with its calendar date beside it, so the totals here match the official ones rather than double counting.
For a single year with weekday counts and long weekends, open the year page for 2025, 2026 or 2027. To compare countries in one year, the 2026 worldwide overview lists every country we cover side by side. Dates come from the open date-holidays dataset and are recalculated per year from each holiday's rule. Always confirm official dates with a local authority before you commit to travel or contracts.
