Spanish facts - Holidays and Seville Festivals

Below is a list of national, regional and local holidays. In Spain national holidays (such as New Year's Day, 1st of May, the Spanish National Day and Christmas Day) are the same all over the country. However each region (comunidad autonoma) enjoys 10 days a year to celebrate its own festivals. Each city or town enjoys 2 days for local holidays.

Usually, on these days almost everything closes (banks, shops, official institutions). Sometimes, some of the holidays end up in what we call puentes (long weekends). It will be more difficult to find accommodation, the city will be packed with national tourists and prices might rise (especially for lodging and eating).

Although it's not everywhere, it is very common in Andalucia to have a holiday on Monday if the real holiday was the Sunday before.

One last thing, the Semana Santa and the Feria de Abril are not fixed calendar dates... They change every year, so make sure you know the dates. It's the busiest period of the year in Seville!

Holiday	Date
New Year's Day	January 1st
Three Kings' Day (Reyes Magos)	January 6th
Andalucia Day	February 28th
Labor Day	May 1st
Assumption Day	August 15th
Spanish National Day	October 12th
All Saints Day	November 1st
Constitution Day	December 6th
Immaculate Conception	December 8th
Christmas Day	December 25th
