Spain Public Holidays (2025–2029)
Spain has 10 national public holidays in 2026 under Royal Decree 2001/1983, two of which (All Saints’ Day and Constitution Day) fall on Sundays; the Directorate General of Labour’s resolution in the Official State Gazette (BOE-A-2025-21667) publishes the 2026 calendar, including the Monday transfers some regions apply to those two Sundays. Highlights of 2026 include Good Friday (April 3), Labour Day (Friday May 1), and National Day (Monday October 12) all generating immediate three-day holiday weekends. The marquee planning feature of 2026 is the December macro-puente: Constitution Day falls on Sunday 6 December, ten of the 19 regions and autonomous cities (Andalucía, Aragón, Asturias, Cantabria, Castilla y León, Extremadura, Madrid, Murcia, La Rioja and Melilla) give Monday 7 December off, and together with the Immaculate Conception on Tuesday 8 December that is a four-day break from Saturday to Tuesday; in the other nine Monday 7 is a working day, so the same four days cost one day of leave.
