Spain holiday calendar 2024: These are all the festivos, bank holidays and long weekends

These are the national and regional holidays which apply to the entire country this year

The official calendar of festivos – holidays from work and school in Spain – has been confirmed for the year 2024.

As agreed in the Official State Gazette (BOE) last Friday October 27, 2023, the calendar for 2024 will includes a total of 12 national holidays, of which 9 will be celebrated jointly in Spain as they are non-substitutable national holidays.

In addition, each of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities will be able to set its own two additional days’ holiday, one of which is normally taken on the Regional Day on the same day each year. Finally, every town, city or municipality can choose two more days to take as a local festivo, so there are a total of 16 days’ holiday.

These are the national holidays in Spain 2024

This is a compilation of both national holidays, regional holidays and replaceable national holidays, which are those that apply to the entire country, but that can be replaced by other dates in each of the regions.

January 1: New Year’s Day
January 6: Three Kings Day
March 29: Good Friday (Easter)
May 1: May Day/Labour Day
August 15: Feast of the Assumption
October 12: National Spain Day
November 1: All Saints’ Day
December 6: Day of the Spanish Constitution
December 25: Christmas Day

These are the replaceable national holidays in 2024

There are other common holidays that each region may choose to move to another day, as is the case with March 28, Maundy Thursday. It will be a holiday throughout the country, except in the Valencian Community and Catalonia.

Then there is March 19, the Feast of San José or Father’s Day in Spain, which will be a holiday in Murcia and the Valencian Community. This is also the case on July 25, Santiago Apóstol, which is a holiday in Cantabria, Galicia, Madrid, Navarra and the Basque Country.

Puentes and long weekends in 2024

In 2024, several holidays will fall on a Monday or Friday, which allows people to take a long weekend. This will happen with the following dates:

Monday January 1
Friday November 1
Friday December 6

Likewise, those regions that celebrate Holy Thursday (March 28) will have a four-day long weekend. Meanwhile, the communities of the Balearic Islands, Cantabria, Navarra, the Basque Country and La Rioja have made April 1 (Easter Monday) a holiday, so the long weekend will be five days.
