The official bank holiday calendar for 2026 in Spain has now been set in most regions. The year will include 12 national and regional holidays, plus two local holidays chosen by each town hall, making 14 non-working days in total.

Several of these dates will create long weekends, giving workers and families the chance to enjoy breaks throughout the year.

Planning Your 2026 Holidays

With the 2026 calendar in hand, it’s easier than ever to plan breaks, short trips, or family gatherings. Long weekends, or puentes, are perfect for exploring Spain’s cities, countryside, or coast without taking too many extra days off work. If you live in a region where holidays are moved from Sunday to Monday, you can enjoy extended weekends.

For anyone planning holidays or trips abroad, knowing which days are public holidays can help avoid crowded airports or fully booked hotels. It’s also a good idea to check regional variations, as each autonomous community may have its own special celebrations.

By keeping this calendar handy, you can make the most of your time off, whether it’s a quick weekend escape, a family reunion, or simply relaxing at home.
