Calendar

Spain's calendar is peppered with public holidays, known locally as festivos. Many of these days off are rooted in the country's Catholic traditions, often marking feast days for various saints or other important religious events.

As the 2025–2026 school year approaches, some regions in Spain have already started confirming their term dates.

Holy Week is an annual Christian commemoration that remembers the Passion of Christ: his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Stations of the Cross, and his death and resurrection. During this period, numerous manifestations of popular religiosity take place worldwide.
