Madrid Public Holidays 2026

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

Madrid observes 12 public holidays in 2026: 10 fall on a weekday and 2 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 Madrid differs from the national Spanish holidays

Madrid adds the Fiesta de la Comunidad de Madrid (Dos de Mayo) on 2 May, which falls on a Saturday in 2026, and observes Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) on 2 April alongside the national Viernes Santo. Because Todos los Santos (1 November) and the Día de la Constitución (6 December) both fall on a Sunday in 2026, Madrid moves the rest day to the following Monday: 2 November and 7 December. Those two Mondays plus Jueves Santo are the working days Madrid closes beyond the national Spanish set, so a deadline counted in Madrid can land later than the national count. San Isidro on 15 May is a local fiesta of the city of Madrid, not a region-wide holiday, so it is left out of this count.
