Ceuta Public Holidays 2026

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

Ceuta observes 14 public holidays in 2026: 11 fall on a weekday and 3 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 Ceuta differs from the national Spanish holidays

Ceuta is an autonomous city with a calendar that mixes Christian and Islamic holidays. Beyond the national set it observes Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) on 2 April, the Fiesta del Sacrificio (Eid al-Adha) on 27 May, Nuestra Señora de África on 5 August, and the Día de Ceuta on 2 September. The Fiesta del Sacrificio is an Islamic holiday whose civil date is fixed each year, set at 27 May for 2026. All four fall on a weekday in 2026, so the Ceuta working-day count runs lower than the national one. Ceuta keeps Todos los Santos (1 November) and the Día de la Constitución (6 December) on their Sunday dates.
