La Rioja Public Holidays 2026

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

La Rioja observes 13 public holidays in 2026: 11 fall on a weekday and 2 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 La Rioja differs from the national Spanish holidays

La Rioja adds Lunes de Pascua (Easter Monday) on 6 April and the Día de La Rioja on 9 June, and observes Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) on 2 April alongside the national Viernes Santo. Because the Día de la Constitución (6 December) falls on a Sunday, La Rioja moves the rest day to Monday 7 December; it does not move Todos los Santos (1 November), which stays on its Sunday date. Jueves Santo, Lunes de Pascua, the 9 June regional day, and 7 December are the four weekday closures beyond the national set.
