While each city observes the national holidays in Spain, regional holidays are set by the local governments.<\/p>\n<p>Spanish national holidays are busy periods, particularly if a holiday falls on a Thursday or Tuesday and employees take a puente (bridge) holiday of four days (dias festivos or vacaciones \u2013 holiday in Spanish).<\/p>\n<p>Bank holidays in Spain that fall on weekends are sometimes replaced with alternate days (usually on the following Monday) if the regional government so chooses.<\/p>\n<p>In general, regional Spanish holidays coincide with large Spanish festivals and can be a wonderful time to explore a new city and learn more about local culture and gastronomy.\u00a0 Due to COVID-19 restrictions, travel is slowly opening up again. If you have any of Spain\u2019s world famous festivals on your list, it is important to book early especially if your travel plans fall on a Spanish national holiday.<\/p>\n<p>Many businesses close during the national and regional holidays in Spain and this can include some tourist attractions like local museums. You can always check the website of the local autonomous community as they generally include a list at the start of each year.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;1em||3em||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spaniards love public holidays and bridges (puentes)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bridges I mention here have nothing to do with the structure. It has to do more with national or regional holidays that happen or are moved to a Monday or Friday to create long weekends. For example, in Canada, there is a guaranteed long weekend each month. The same in Spain, although here, there are some months that have 4-day weekends instead of a 3-day weekend.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many locals, it is common for them to head out of the city for a long weekend getaway in the surrounding towns (pueblos) or seaside.

If you want to do some shopping, check the opening hours of your favorite shop on Google Maps. Oftentimes, it will show you whether or not it\u2019s closed due to a public holiday.

If you see \u201cdesviado\u201d at the bus stop, that means the bus won\u2019t be coming due to a fiesta, race or road construction. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some medical and emergency services are limited too.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taxi fees might increase a little and the demand is usually high, so if you have to be somewhere, leave your house a bit earlier than planned.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use Google Calendar, you can easily add Spanish holidays to your calendar.
