For those of us who enjoy a right good moan about the surprising appearance, as-if-from-nowhere and number of Spanish holidays, here’s a handy item for the pin up board in the kitchen. The Spanish government’s Official State Bulletin (BOE) have just announced the dates of 2015’s eight fully national public holidays, one of which, the Assumption of Mary, falls on a Saturday.
The eight national public holidays in 2015 are:
National
January 1st: (Thursday)
January 6th: (Epiphany, Tuesday)
April 3rd: (Good Friday)
May 1st: (Labour Day, Friday)
August 15th: (Assumption of Mary, Saturday)
October 12th (Spanish National Day, Monday)
December 8th: (Immaculate Conception, Tuesday).
December 25th: (Christmas Day, Friday)
In addition to these national dates, all regions will have at least one further weekday holiday at Easter. November 2nd and December 7th (both Mondays) are also holidays in many regions making for the traditional ‘puente’ long weekends.
