Which public holidays does Spain have in 2027, and which create puentes?

Spain has nine public holidays common to every region in 2027: 2027-01-01, 2027-01-06, 2027-03-26, 2027-05-01, 2027-10-12, 2027-11-01, 2027-12-06, 2027-12-08 and 2027-12-25. Two fall on a Saturday, 2027-05-01 and 2027-12-25, and the main puentes (bridge days) sit around Tuesday 2027-10-12 and Wednesday 2027-12-08.

Which national public holidays does Spain have in 2027?

The Spanish labour directorate-general fixed the 2027 calendar in a resolution dated 2026-10-08, published in the BOE on 2026-10-13 . Seven of the nine common days fall on a weekday: Friday 2027-01-01, Wednesday 2027-01-06 (Epiphany), Friday 2027-03-26 (Good Friday), Tuesday 2027-10-12, Monday 2027-11-01, Monday 2027-12-06 and Wednesday 2027-12-08. Epiphany is the only one of the nine that a region may replace with another date, and the annex shows that no region did so for 2027.

Which 2027 holidays fall on weekends, and which create puentes?

Two holidays land on a Saturday: Saturday 2027-05-01 (Labour Day) and Saturday 2027-12-25 (Christmas Day). The annex lists both on their Saturday dates with no Monday substitute, so they remove no working weekday from the year.

A puente is a working day squeezed between a holiday and a weekend or another holiday, and many staff take it off. In 2027 that means Monday 2027-10-11, ahead of Tuesday 2027-10-12, and Tuesday 2027-12-07, between Monday 2027-12-06 and Wednesday 2027-12-08. Monday 2027-11-01 and the Fridays 2027-01-01 and 2027-03-26 make three-day weekends without any bridge day. Plan for thinner consignee crews and slower dock slots on the puente days.

Do regional holidays and the HGV ban calendar change the plan?

The annex adds regional days on top of the nine. Maundy Thursday 2027-03-25 applies in most regions, and Easter Monday 2027-03-29 applies in several, including Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. Town councils then set their own local days, so a delivery point can be closed on a date that is open one municipality away.

The DGT restriction calendar for HGV is a separate document. The 2026 version was dated 2026-01-14 and published in the BOE on 2026-01-20 , and it treats as holidays those of national scope or of the affected region. The 2027 version had not appeared on 2026-10-23, so the dates above are the holiday list and not confirmed ban days.

Read the Spain HGV driving ban guide for the current rules, the Europe-wide 2027 holiday ban guide for neighbouring countries and the Spain 2027 holiday calendar to check each date against your lanes. Watch the DGT restrictions page for the 2027 resolution, and keep Spain truck speed limits in the same planning file.

Frequently asked questions

Is 6 January a public holiday in all of Spain in 2027?

Yes. Epiphany falls on Wednesday 2027-01-06 and the 2027 annex shows it as a holiday in every region and autonomous city. No region replaced it with another date.

Are holidays that fall on a Saturday moved to Monday in Spain in 2027?

No move is listed. The annex keeps 2027-05-01 and 2027-12-25 on their Saturday dates, so those holidays do not add a Monday off.

When will the DGT publish the 2027 truck restriction calendar?

It had not been published on 2026-10-23. The 2026 resolution was dated 2026-01-14 and appeared in the BOE on 2026-01-20, so a January release is plausible, but that is an inference and not an announced date.

Where can I find regional and local holidays for Spain in 2027?

The BOE annex lists regional holidays by community, and town councils fix local ones, which regional gazettes publish. Check both for every delivery point before you confirm a slot.
