In 2026 there are eleven national public holidays, which include New Year's Day (1 January), Epiphany (6 January), Maundy Thursday (2 April), Good Friday (3 April), Labour Day (1 May), Assumption of Mary (15 August), Spanish National Day (12 October), All Saints' Day (1 November), Constitution Day (6 December), Immaculate Conception (8 December), and Christmas Day (25 December). Note that in 2026 the calendar includes Maundy Thursday as a national public holiday, although in other years it does not always appear among the eight strictly fixed national public holidays.

When a national public holiday coincides with a Sunday, the Government establishes a substitute day by Royal Decree, which is usually the immediately following Monday, referred to as a 'substitute holiday'. This decision is made at national level and published annually in the BOE (Official State Gazette). Companies must update their working calendars to reflect this shift.

No: a bridge day is not a labor right recognized by law, but rather a widespread cultural practice consisting of taking as non-working the day that falls between a public holiday and the weekend. Its enjoyment depends on agreement between employer and employee, or on what the applicable collective bargaining agreement establishes. From a payroll perspective, that day may be counted as vacation, paid leave, or discretionary day off according to what is agreed.

Each autonomous community sets up to two regional public holidays per year, so the effective working days can vary between territories. In companies with work centers in several communities, it is essential to draw up a specific working calendar for each center and communicate it to employees before 31 December of the previous year. This aspect is key to the correct calculation of payroll, overtime, and workforce planning.

No: Easter Monday is not a public holiday at national level in Spain. Some autonomous communities, such as Catalonia, Navarre, or Valencia, do include it among their regional public holidays, but at state level it has no official recognition. HR professionals must verify the calendar of each community to determine whether it applies in their territory.
