Spain Public Holidays 2026
Spain has 10 national public holidays in 2026, starting with New Year's Day on 1 January 2026 and ending with Christmas Day on 25 December 2026. Three well placed days of leave buy 12 days away from work in 2026, because three holidays sit exactly one working day from a weekend.

Expect the most closures around December (3 holidays), so schedule deliveries and appointments with that in mind. Three of them fall on a Saturday or Sunday in 2026, which is worth checking if you are counting on days off from work. Below you will find the full 2026 list for Spain, sorted by date, with the weekday marked for quick planning. The list is the national one, and Spain also has sub-national calendars that differ from it, so check the note above the table before you rely on a single date.
Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Spain have in 2026?
Spain has 10 national public holidays in 2026. The first is New Year's Day on 1 January 2026 and the last is Christmas Day on 25 December 2026.
What is the first public holiday of 2026 in Spain?

When is New Year celebrated in Spain in 2026?
In 2026, New Year's Day in Spain is on 1 January 2026.
Are regional holidays included for Spain?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Spain are listed separately on the Spain holiday hub, together with the autonomous communities that observe them.
Do the Spain holiday dates change from 2026 to the next year?
Some of them do. One of the 10 holidays in 2026 sit on a moving rule (linked to easter), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Good Friday on 3 April 2026.
How far ahead is the Spain calendar actually fixed?
Through 2026. The Ministry of Labour publishes the labour calendar for the following year by BOE resolution in the autumn, after the autonomous communities have chosen their substitutions, so anything past that is computed from the rules in force rather than read off an official list. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Spain.
Which Spain holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2026. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Spain holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.

Knowing the dates is half the question. The other half is what they add up to: which of them create a long weekend and how many working days the year leaves. The 2026 worldwide overview compares every country on holiday count and weekend overlap, and the country index ranks all 44 of them. The same figures are available as JSON, and the dates as a calendar file.
