Melilla Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Calculate business days in Melilla with its own autonomic public holidays. Melilla shares the Monday to Friday working week and the Saturday and Sunday weekend with the rest of Spain, but its holiday calendar is different, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the national count.
How Melilla differs from the national Spanish holidays
Melilla is an autonomous city with a calendar that mixes Christian and Islamic holidays. Beyond the national set it observes the Fiesta del Eid al-Fitr on 20 March, Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) on 2 April, and the Fiesta del Sacrificio (Eid al-Adha) on 27 May. The two Islamic holidays have civil dates fixed each year, set at 20 March and 27 May for 2026. Because the Día de la Constitución (6 December) falls on a Sunday, Melilla moves the rest day to Monday 7 December; it keeps Todos los Santos (1 November) on its Sunday date. Those four weekday closures pull the Melilla count below the national one.
Worked example
Adding 2 business days to Thursday, March 19, 2026 using Melilla's holidays lands on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. With the national Spanish holidays, the same calculation lands on Monday, March 23, 2026: the gap comes from Melilla's own calendar.
