2026 work calendar: holidays by autonomous community
Complete guide to national and regional holidays in Spain for 2026. How to configure your company's work calendars.
National holidays 2026
In 2026, Spain has the following national holidays: January 1 (New Year's Day), January 6 (Epiphany), April 2 (Holy Thursday), April 3 (Good Friday), May 1 (Labor Day), August 15 (Assumption of Mary), October 12 (National Day), November 1 (All Saints' Day), December 6 (Constitution Day), and December 8 (Immaculate Conception). December 25 (Christmas Day) and each autonomous community's own holidays are added to these.
Regional holidays: why they matter
Each autonomous community has between 2 and 4 additional holidays of their own, beyond the national ones. For companies with workers in multiple communities, it's essential to configure different calendars by location. A holiday error can generate unaccounted overtime or incorrect payroll deductions.
Local holidays
In addition to national and regional holidays, each municipality has 2 local holidays of its own. These vary by locality and must be checked in each province's official bulletin. For companies with presence in multiple localities, managing these holidays manually is a constant source of errors.
