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 Canary Islands

The Canary Islands count eleven community-wide holidays in both 2026 and 2027, one fewer than the other communities in this group. The archipelago does not use Easter Monday, and in 2026 it skips the December Monday that Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Cantabria and Castile and León took.

For 2026 the BOE annex gives New Year's Day, Epiphany, Maundy Thursday (2 April), Good Friday (3 April), Labour Day, Canary Islands Day (30 May), the Assumption (15 August), the National Day, Monday 2 November after All Saints' Day, the Immaculate Conception and Christmas Day. Two of those, Canary Islands Day and the Assumption, fall on Saturdays, so they add to the list without taking anyone off a working day.

The 2027 annex differs in one respect. It has no entry for Canary Islands Day: 30 May is a Sunday, and the Canarian government did not designate another day in its place. The only Monday substitution that year is 16 August, after the Sunday Assumption. The community-wide total therefore stays at eleven while the regional day disappears from the calendar.

Island holidays form a second layer. A Canarian decree is published each year, and the one for 2027 (Decree 115/2026) gives each island an extra day: 2 February in Tenerife for the Virgin of Candelaria, 5 August in La Palma, 8 September in Gran Canaria, 15 September in Lanzarote and La Graciosa, 17 September in Fuerteventura, 24 September in El Hierro and 4 October in La Gomera. The 2026 decree shifted two of those dates by one day (Fuerteventura on 18 September and La Gomera on 5 October). They are statutory holidays for people living on the island concerned, but this page counts the community as a whole, not each island, so they are left out.

The islands have no land border, so the comparison with other communities concerns only those mainland employers who operate in the archipelago. A company with offices in Madrid and Las Palmas will find that the Easter calendar is the same in both, while the Monday substitutions are not.

The two municipal holidays that every town may add are also outside the count.
