Public holidays in Spain are known to be both numerous and varied, making it difficult to keep track of them..
Unlike many other countries, where national holidays are common to the entire country, Spain has a system where many holidays are local and can differ from region to region, or even between different cities or villages.
This means that in one village it may be an official holiday, while just a few kilometres away in a neighbouring village it is a normal working day. This can lead to confusion for both locals and tourists, as a holiday in one place does not necessarily mean the same thing in another. We are based on the Costa del Sol but can help you wherever you live in Spain.
