The 3 weekend dates in 2026 fall on a Saturday or Sunday, days the count already excludes, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 7 weekday dates. The table lists the days that are a holiday in all seventeen comunidades autónomas, in Ceuta and in Melilla. For a year whose list the Dirección General de Trabajo has published in the BOE, they are the days that list marks in all nineteen territories, plus a national holiday that falls on a Sunday, which the list leaves out and the table shows on its own date. Article 37.2 of the Estatuto de los Trabajadores allows at most fourteen fiestas laborales a year, two of them local. Under article 45 of Real Decreto 2001/1983 the national days of letters a) to c) cannot be replaced, while a community may replace a letter d) day, national too (Jueves Santo, Epifanía, and San José or Santiago), with a traditional holiday of its own. When a national holiday falls on a Sunday its rest day moves to the Monday, and a community may use that Monday for a day of its own, so those Mondays are left to the community calendars. A year with no published list yet carries the same days, which assumes every territory keeps Epifanía again.

Holidays not included

Each comunidad autónoma adds its own days to that common set, and the BOE's annual table shows which. In the lists for 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027, for example, every territory marks Jueves Santo except Cataluña and the Comunitat Valenciana, and both of them mark Lunes de Pascua as a holiday of their own, so neither day is in this table. Each municipality then has up to two local fiestas, published in the official bulletin of the community or the province rather than in the BOE. This site has a page for each comunidad autónoma and for Ceuta and Melilla, and the Advanced options take any local date.

Spain Holidays 2026 - FAQ

How many dates are on the 2026 Spain holiday calendar?
10 dates, each one a day this calculator treats as closed in 2026. 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.
How many días laborables does Spain have in 2026?
Spain has 254 días laborables in 2026 on the national-only count, after subtracting 104 weekend days and 7 weekday-falling días festivos. This is the national count: it uses only the dates in the table above, so a holiday kept only in one region or by one sector is not in it.
Which 2026 fiesta laboral dates fall on a weekday?
7 of the 10 dates in the 2026 Spain holiday table fall on a weekday and reduce the días laborables count: Año Nuevo (Thursday, January 1); Epifanía del Señor (Tuesday, January 6); Viernes Santo (Friday, April 3); Día del Trabajo (Friday, May 1); Fiesta Nacional de España (Monday, October 12); Inmaculada Concepción (Tuesday, December 8); Navidad (Friday, December 25).
Which 2026 holidays fall on a weekend and how are they handled?
3 of the 2026 dates fall on a weekend: Asunción de la Virgen on Saturday, August 15; Día de Todos los Santos on Sunday, November 1; Día de la Constitución on Sunday, December 6. Each is listed on its calendar date, and none of those entries takes a working day out of the count.
