Días laborables
255
The 3 weekend-falling días festivos in 2024 are absorbed into the regular Saturday and Sunday count, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 7 weekday-falling entries. Spain observes up to 14 fiestas laborables per year, set annually by Real Decreto and combining 9 nationally-fixed days, 2 Comunidad Autónoma-set, and 2 municipality-set days. This calculator uses the national set; regional and municipal additions vary by year and place.
Holidays not included
Spain's Comunidades Autónomas each declare regional fiestas: Catalonia observes Sant Jordi (April 23), Andalusia observes Día de Andalucía (February 28), the Basque Country observes Día del País Vasco, Madrid observes Dos de Mayo, and Galicia observes Día Nacional de Galicia (July 25). Municipal patron-saint days add another layer (San Isidro in Madrid, La Mercè in Barcelona). For region-specific contracts, layer the relevant Comunidad Autónoma decree under Advanced options.
Spain observes 10 días festivos in 2024. Of those, 7 fall on a weekday and 3 land on a weekend. The complete list with dates and weekday placements is in the calendar table above.
