País Vasco Public Holidays 2026
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
País Vasco observes 14 public holidays in 2026: 10 fall on a weekday and 4 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 País Vasco differs from the national Spanish holidays
The País Vasco adds four days beyond the national set: San José on 19 March, Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) on 2 April, Lunes de Pascua (Pazko astelehena, Easter Monday) on 6 April, and Santiago Apóstol on 25 July. Santiago falls on a Saturday in 2026, so the working days the País Vasco closes beyond the national calendar are San José, Jueves Santo, and Lunes de Pascua. Todos los Santos (1 November) and the Día de la Constitución (6 December) both fall on a Sunday in 2026 and the País Vasco leaves them on that date. The three historical territories of Araba, Bizkaia, and Gipuzkoa add their own local fiestas, which are not part of this region-wide count.
