Andalucía public holiday calendar 2026: These are the 12 national and regional festivos
From this weekend’s Andalucía Day to Christmas, here is your full calendar of holidays
With this weekend marking Andalucía Day and spring well on the way, it is the perfect moment to look ahead to the year’s public holidays. The Junta de Andalucía confirms a total of 12 festivos for 2026, blending national and regional days off that give plenty of chances for long weekends and family time.Here is the full calendar of public holidays for the year 2026:
- Thursday January 1: New Year's Day
- Tuesday January 6: Epiphany of the Lord
- Saturday February 28: Andalucía Day
- Thursday April 2: Holy Thursday
- Friday April 3: Good Friday
- Friday May 1: Labour Day
- Saturday August 15: Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin
- Monday October 12: National Day of Spain
- Monday November 2: All Saints' Day
- Monday December 7: Spanish Constitution Day
- Tuesday December 8: Immaculate Conception
- Friday December 25: Nativity of the Lord
With several holidays falling on Thursdays, Fridays and Mondays, there are plenty of opportunities to stretch a day off into a long puente in 2026. Take the Easter period, for instance, with Holy Thursday on Thursday April 2 and Good Friday on Friday April 3 giving a natural four-day break if you add the weekend.Then there is the end-of-year rush, with Monday December 7, Tuesday December 8 and Friday December 25 offering a festive stretch that many will extend into a full holiday week.
Saturday holidays like Andalucía Day this weekend and the Assumption on August 15 mean you might sadly lose the day altogether if you have a traditional 9-5, Monday to Friday job. Some workplaces might shift them instead, so it is always worth double-checking with your local Ayuntamiento or employer to see how they handle things locally.
Whether you are dreaming of trips, gatherings with loved ones or just a bit of downtime, marking these dates now will help make 2026 your best year yet here in Andalucía. Happy planning!
