What days are you off work in Spain in 2025

Public holidays in Spain, known as "días festivos," are an essential aspect of the country's cultural and social fabric. Each region in Spain has its own unique set of holidays, in addition to national public holidays, which can vary significantly from one autonomous community to another. Major public holidays include New Year's Day, Epiphany, and National Day, while local festivities often celebrate patron saints or historical events. Understanding these public holidays is crucial for effective absence management and staff leave planning, as they can impact business operations and employee availability.
