2026 at a glance

• Assumption Day falls on Saturday 15 August and no substitute weekday is counted.
• In 2026, public holidays fall on 11 weekdays in Castile and León, one more than in 2025.

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 Castile and León

Castile and León is the largest region of Spain by area and has twelve holidays in 2026 and in 2027. Its own day is Castile and León Day on 23 April, which commemorates the defeat of the Comuneros at Villalar in 1521. It is a Thursday in 2026 and a Friday in 2027, and the community left it where it is in both years.

The date is shared with Aragon, whose Saint George's Day falls on the same day for a different reason. That is the only coincidence with a neighbour; the rest of the Castilian list follows a familiar mainland pattern. The community keeps Maundy Thursday (2 April 2026, 25 March 2027) and Good Friday, and gives no Easter Monday.

Sunday holidays are where it departs from the minimum. In 2026 All Saints' Day and Constitution Day each fell on a Sunday, and it took Monday 2 November and Monday 7 December. For 2027 it takes Monday 16 August, after the Sunday Assumption. This puts it alongside Andalusia, Aragon and Asturias, which is why those lists are of the same length. Cantabria, on the northern edge, took only the December Monday in 2026 and none in 2027, and the Basque Country took none in either year.

The nine provinces share the calendar but not the local days. Each municipality may announce up to two in the regional bulletin, and the capitals choose their own patron days, such as Saint Peter and Saint Paul in Burgos at the end of June. A worker in Valladolid, León or Salamanca therefore has a different pair from a worker in a village in the same province. Those days are not counted here, so a full year in a given town has two working days fewer than the page shows.

Also excluded: Corpus Christi, which a neighbouring community lists as a regional holiday but which the BOE does not list for Castile and León, and Saint Joseph and Saint James, which the community has not selected in the years covered. Nor does it count the Wednesday of Holy Week or any day that an employer grants by agreement.
