How many public holidays there are and who sets them

The Workers’ Statute sets a maximum of fourteen public holidays a year, paid and not to be made up (article 37.2). Twelve are set by the state and each region, and two by each town council.

Some are the same across Spain, such as New Year’s Day, Good Friday, 1 May, 12 October or Christmas Day. Others can be swapped by each region for a holiday of its own: 6 January, Maundy Thursday and St Joseph’s or St James’ Day. And when a national holiday falls on a Sunday, each region decides whether the day off moves to Monday or is swapped for another holiday. That is why every region has its own calendar.

Each employee gets the holidays of where their workplace is, not those of the company’s head office: a company with offices in two regions has two calendars and, with local holidays, one per town.

Local holidays

Each town also has up to two local holidays, usually its patron saint festivities. The town council proposes them and the regional or provincial gazette publishes them: check them before closing leave or rotas.
