Galicia Public Holidays 2026

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

Galicia observes 14 public holidays in 2026: 10 fall on a weekday and 4 land on a weekend, leaving 251 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 Galicia differs from the national Spanish holidays

Galicia adds four days beyond the national set. It elects both San José on 19 March and Santiago Apóstol, the Día Nacional de Galicia, on 25 July, the dual option Galicia is allowed, and it also observes Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) on 2 April and San Juan (San Xoán) on 24 June. Santiago falls on a Saturday in 2026, so the working days Galicia closes beyond the national calendar are San José, Jueves Santo, and San Xoán. Todos los Santos (1 November) and the Día de la Constitución (6 December) both fall on a Sunday in 2026 and Galicia leaves them on that date.
