All Saints’ Day in Spain, or Día de Todos los Santos, falls on Sunday 1st November in 2026. Although it is a national holiday, Spain does not automatically move it to the Monday. Instead, each autonomous community can decide whether to make Monday 2nd November a regional public holiday.
The official 2026 working calendar confirms that nine communities have done just that.
Where 2nd November is a public holiday in Spain
As published in Spain's Official State Gazette (or the BOE), Monday 2nd November is a bank holiday in:
- Andalucía, including Málaga, Marbella, Seville, Granada, Córdoba and Almería
- Aragón, including Zaragoza, Huesca and Teruel
- Asturias, including Oviedo and Gijón
- Canary Islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura
- Castilla-La Mancha, including Toledo, Albacete and Ciudad Real
- Castilla y León, including Valladolid, Salamanca, Burgos and León
- Extremadura, including Badajoz, Cáceres and Mérida
- Community of Madrid, including Madrid city and its surrounding municipalities
- Navarre, including Pamplona
Workers in these regions can generally expect a three-day break, although essential services, hospitality venues and some tourist attractions may keep reduced or altered hours.
What happens elsewhere in Spain
In the remaining autonomous communities, Monday 2nd November is an ordinary working day unless a town or city has set a separate local holiday. Schools, shops, public offices and transport services should broadly follow their normal Monday timetable.
That distinction matters for anyone travelling between regions over the weekend. A Monday that feels like a full-on puente in Madrid or Andalucía may be a standard working day in Barcelona, Valencia, Galicia or the Basque Country. Regional calendars, rather than the national list alone, determine the day off.
A long weekend around All Saints’ Day
The 2026 calendar gives parts of Spain an early-November break, particularly handy after the busy autumn half-term period. It is worth checking local arrangements in advance, as municipal holidays can also affect schools, markets and council-run facilities.
All Saints’ Day remains an important date in the Spanish calendar, with many people visiting cemeteries to remember relatives and buying seasonal sweets such as huesos de santo and buñuelos. Public holiday arrangements, however, vary by region rather than applying uniformly across the country
