Falling on a weekend in 2026: Day of the Canary Islands (Saturday, 30 May) and Assumption Day (Saturday, 15 Aug).
Not a public holiday in every autonomous community, but in Canarias: Maundy Thursday, Day of the Canary Islands and Monday following All Saints' Day.
For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 11 (Canarias) to 14 (Melilla). Canarias is among the autonomous communities with the fewest public holidays.
Days marked "observed" are substitute days off when a holiday falls on a weekend. Holidays based on a lunar calendar can shift by a day once the official announcement is made.
Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
