Last reviewed: August 26, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Canarias observes 12 public holidays in 2026: 9 fall on a weekday and 3 land on a weekend, leaving 252 working days across the year. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, the same as the rest of Spain; what changes is the autonomic holiday calendar.
How Canarias differs from the national Spanish holidays
Canarias observes Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) on 2 April alongside the national Viernes Santo, and adds the Día de Canarias on 30 May, which falls on a Saturday in 2026. Because Todos los Santos (1 November) falls on a Sunday, Canarias moves the rest day to Monday 2 November; it does not move the Día de la Constitución (6 December), which stays on its Sunday date. The working days Canarias closes beyond the national set are therefore Jueves Santo and 2 November. Each island also has its own festividad (for example Nuestra Señora del Pino on Gran Canaria), which is a local holiday left out of this region-wide count.
