In 2026, the Spanish work calendar again includes 14 public holidays: 8 of them are national and mandatory for the entire country, 4 are determined by the autonomous communities (regional), and another 2 are determined by local municipalities.
A special feature of 2026 is that All Saints' Day (November 1) and Constitution Day (December 6) falls on a Sunday. Most autonomous communities have decided to move this weekend to the following Monday, which will give residents additional days of rest.
Easter (Semana Santa) in 2026 will be celebrated in early April: Good Friday falls on April 3.
