Spanish Public Holidays
Find out when the Spanish public holidays fall throughout the year...
The Spanish term for a bank holiday/public holiday/legal holiday is día feriado or fiesta nacional.
- Each autonomous province has regional holidays each year in addition to the standard national holidays. Local holidays usually include a local "community day" and a celebration of certain Saints
- If a public holiday falls on a Sunday it may be celebrated on a weekday
- All banks and most shops and museums close on public holidays. Bars and restaurants outside tourist areas may close too
- Hospitals and emergency services do not close on public holidays
- Taxis may increase their rates for journeys on public holidays
- When a public holiday falls on a Thursday or Tuesday, it is common practice to "make the bridge" (hacer puente) by taking off the Friday or Monday so creating a very long weekend. When this happens you may find businesses running on short staff or smaller family run business closed for the full period
