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 Asturias

The principality of Asturias has twelve holidays in each of 2026 and 2027, which is what the BOE annexes for those years show. The community adds one day of its own, Asturias Day on 8 September, tied to the Virgin of Covadonga. It is a Tuesday in 2026 and a Wednesday in 2027, and neither year sees it moved.

Easter follows the mainland pattern in which Maundy Thursday is kept (2 April 2026 and 25 March 2027) and Easter Monday is not. Where the region uses its discretion is the Monday after a Sunday holiday. In 2026 it adopted both Monday 2 November, following All Saints' Day, and Monday 7 December, following Constitution Day. In 2027 the Assumption falls on a Sunday, so it takes Monday 16 August; All Saints' Day and Constitution Day land on a Monday in that year and need no substitute.

The differences with the neighbours are small but concrete. Cantabria, to the east, took only the December Monday in 2026 and takes no August Monday in 2027, so in summer 2027 a worker living in Oviedo and employed in Santander has a day off that the colleague does not. Castile and León matches the Asturian Monday substitutions in both years, but its regional day is on 23 April instead of in September. Galicia, to the west, has a calendar of its own and should be read from its own page.

Saint James on 25 July is an ordinary working day in Asturias, and so is Saint Joseph on 19 March: the national rules let a community choose between them, and the principality chose neither in the years covered here.

Left out of the count are the two local holidays that each concejo may fix under Royal Decree 2001/1983. They are published in the regional gazette and often fall on a patron saint's day or fair, such as those of Gijón, Oviedo and Avilés. Someone working in one of those towns has two fewer working days than the count above shows. Easter Tuesday and Christmas Eve, which employers sometimes grant by agreement, are not holidays by law and are not counted either.
