About public holidays in Extremadura

Extremadura is a region that tends to move its holidays to Mondays when the calendar allows. Spanish regions may shift a national holiday that falls on a Sunday to the next day, or swap it for a date of their own, and Extremadura uses both options. The list below comes from the Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE), where the regional government's choices are published each October.

Extremadura Day, on 8 September, is the region's own holiday. Beyond that the region follows the national pattern and keeps Maundy Thursday, but not Easter Monday. In 2026 the twelve days are 1 January, 6 January, Maundy Thursday (2 April), Good Friday (3 April), 1 May, 15 August, Extremadura Day (Tuesday 8 September), 12 October, Monday 2 November, Monday 7 December, 8 December and 25 December. The two Mondays exist because 1 November and 6 December both fell on a Sunday that year, and the region chose to give the day after instead of dropping the holiday. The Assumption on 15 August is a Saturday in 2026 and removes no weekday.

The 2027 resolution of 8 October 2026 gives a list that no rule of the calendar alone would predict. It is 1 January, 6 January, Maundy Thursday (25 March), Good Friday (26 March), 1 May, Extremadura Day (Wednesday 8 September), Monday 11 October, 12 October, 1 November, 6 December, 8 December and 25 December. Monday 11 October is entered in the BOE as a substitute for 15 August, which falls on a Sunday in 2027. Together with Tuesday 12 October it makes a four-day autumn weekend from Saturday 9 to Tuesday 12 October. The fixed holidays 1 May and 25 December fall on Saturdays that year, so ten of the twelve days are on weekdays.

Neighbouring regions have other patterns. Castilla y León has a holiday on 23 April, Castilla-La Mancha celebrates its own day in late May and kept Easter Monday in 2026, while Extremadura has no spring holiday of its own and keeps Easter Monday in neither 2026 nor 2027.

What is not counted: each municipality may choose two local holidays, usually the patron saint's day and a fair or pilgrimage day, and these are published in the regional bulletin. They are not in the counts, so a given town's year may include two more days off. Easter Saturday and 24 and 31 December are not statutory holidays, so they count as working days.
