Spain bank holidays 2017 and 2018 - national and regional holidays Spain
Before visiting Spain, consult the list of public (bank) holidays below. While some of the local festivities and celebrations are quite amusing to tourists, many will prefer to avoid travelling in Spain during national holidays, when most institutions, banks, museums and tourist attractions are closed or have reduced working hours.
Work-free days are especially worth being taken into consideration if you are on a driving holiday in Spain; you are most likely to face increased road traffic, with many locals taking a few days off to travel out of town.
If the Spanish national holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, taking one day off to extend a weekend to full four days holiday (known in Spanish as puente, meaning "the bridge") is common.
