Falling on a weekend in 2026: Assumption Day (Saturday, 15 Aug).

Not a public holiday in every autonomous community, but in Melilla: Eid al-Fitr, Maundy Thursday, Eid al-Adha, Day of Our Lady of Victory, Melilla Day and Monday following Constitution Day.

For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 11 (Canarias) to 14 (Melilla). Melilla is among the autonomous communities with the most 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.
