Andalusia, Spain public holidays 2028

2028 at a glance

• New Year's Day falls on Saturday 1 January and no substitute weekday is counted.
• All 2028 dates are provisional – calculated from the rule, because official dates are published only through 2027.
• In 2028, public holidays fall on 11 weekdays in Andalusia, one more than in 2027.

Each Spanish region sets part of its calendar every year, and some regions move a holiday that falls on a Sunday to the Monday; these counts follow the official calendar published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado. Every town also has two local holidays, which these counts do not include: a full year in any town has two working days fewer.

About public holidays in Andalusia

Andalusia observes twelve public holidays in 2026 and twelve in 2027, according to the labour calendars that the BOE printed for each year. Eight of the 2026 days are shared with every Spanish community; the rest come from choices the Andalusian government makes.

The first is its own day, Andalusia Day, which recalls the autonomy referendum of 28 February 1980. In 2026 that date is a Saturday and the holiday is not moved, so it takes nobody off a working day. In 2027 28 February is a Sunday, and the BOE annex lists the holiday on Monday 1 March. The second choice is Maundy Thursday, which Andalusia keeps on 2 April 2026 and 25 March 2027. It does not add Easter Monday, which the Balearic Islands and the Basque Country do.

The remaining days are Monday substitutions. When a national holiday lands on a Sunday, a community may leave the Sunday alone or give the Monday as a replacement. Andalusia took the Monday twice in 2026: Monday 2 November, after All Saints' Day, and Monday 7 December, after Constitution Day. In 2027 it takes Monday 16 August, because the Assumption falls on Sunday 15 August. That year All Saints' Day and Constitution Day are themselves on a Monday, so they need no substitute.

The practical effect is a long Easter weekend made by Thursday and Friday rather than by Friday and Monday. Anyone who works across the border in Extremadura or Castilla-La Mancha should check the other region's page instead of assuming the same dates, since each of those communities decides its own substitutions.

Not counted here: every Andalusian municipality may add up to two local holidays, published in the regional bulletin, such as a patron saint or the day of a town fair. They differ even between neighbouring towns, so a full year in a given town has two working days fewer than the figure on this page. Saint Joseph and Saint James are not holidays in Andalusia, and neither is Christmas Eve.
