Cantabria Public Holidays 2026

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026

Cantabria observes 13 public holidays in 2026: 11 fall on a weekday and 2 land on a weekend, leaving 250 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 Cantabria differs from the national Spanish holidays

Cantabria observes Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) on 2 April alongside the national Viernes Santo, and adds the Día de las Instituciones de Cantabria on 28 July and La Bien Aparecida on 15 September, both Tuesdays in 2026. Because the Día de la Constitución (6 December) falls on a Sunday, Cantabria moves the rest day to Monday 7 December; it does not move Todos los Santos (1 November), which stays on its Sunday date. Jueves Santo, the two July and September days, and 7 December are the four weekday closures Cantabria adds beyond the national set.
