Statutory framework and regional variation in Spain
Under Article 37.2 of the Workers’ Statute (Real Decreto Legislativo 2/2015), Spanish workers enjoy up to 14 paid public holidays per calendar year. Of these, up to 10 are nationwide mandatory or national-substitutable holidays, while 4 are designated at the autonomous community and municipal levels.
The "Puente" culture: Maximizing Spanish holidays in 2029
A "puente" (bridge) occurs when a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, prompting employees to take the intermediate Monday or Friday off for a four-day break. In 2029, Labour Day (Tue May 1), All Saints’ Day (Thu Nov 1), and Christmas Day (Tue Dec 25) are textbook puente opportunities.
