Local holidays 2027 in your Spanish town

Where they are published, region by region

Article 46 of Royal Decree 2001/1983 says local holidays are published in the regional gazette and, where relevant, the provincial one. This table shows which text we have read for each year.

The most common dates

Among the towns read, the 2026 local holidays cluster in September, with 72 of them. The most repeated dates were 8 September (26 towns), 17 February (19 towns), 25 May (18 towns), 24 June (15 towns), 29 June (13 towns) and 16 July (13 towns). When many towns share a date, there is usually a patron saint or a tradition common to the province behind it.

What counts and what does not

Only the days published in the gazette are local holidays. District fiestas, pilgrimages or fair days the council celebrates without proposing them as public holidays give no right to a day off. Conversely, a published local holiday binds every employer in the town, under the same rules as national ones: if you work that day, article 47 requires the hours to be paid with at least a 75% premium or compensatory time off. Together with the region's 12 they make up the 14 set by article 37.2 of the Workers' Statute.

If your town is not listed

The search covers 201 towns. If yours is missing, look in your regional or provincial gazette for the year's "resolución por la que se publica la relación de fiestas locales": each region's page on this site links the text we have read. You can also ask your town council or your works council, which should know the workplace calendar.

Local holidays count exactly like the others: they are paid, they cannot be made up later, and working on one entitles you to compensatory rest or the extra pay set by your agreement. Two people in the same company can have different local holidays if they work in different towns, because what counts is where the workplace is, not where you live.
