Extremadura observes 12 public holidays in 2026: 11 fall on a weekday and 1 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 Extremadura differs from the national Spanish holidays
Extremadura observes Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) on 2 April alongside the national Viernes Santo, and adds the Día de Extremadura on 8 September, a Tuesday in 2026. Because Todos los Santos (1 November) and the Día de la Constitución (6 December) both fall on a Sunday in 2026, Extremadura moves the rest day to the following Monday: 2 November and 7 December. Those four weekday closures pull the Extremaduran working-day count below the national one.
