Spain's 2025 public holiday calendar opens strongly: Epiphany (6 January) falls on a Monday, giving families an automatic three-day weekend around the most important gift-giving occasion in the Spanish tradition. Cabalgata de Reyes parades take place on Sunday 5 January, and the holiday on Monday 6 January means children and parents can recover from the festivities.
Semana Santa falls in mid-April in 2025. Good Friday is 18 April and Easter Sunday is 20 April — processions in Seville, Málaga, and Valladolid take place during the week of 14–18 April. Labour Day (1 May) follows on a Thursday — bridge day Friday 2 May for a four-day weekend.
Spain's National Day (12 October) falls on a Sunday — no weekday benefit. Constitution Day (6 December) is a Saturday — also absorbed into the weekend. The Immaculate Conception (8 December) falls on a Monday — automatic three-day weekend, partially compensating for the lost December public holidays.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is Semana Santa in Spain in 2025?
Semana Santa falls in mid-April 2025. Easter Sunday is 20 April, so Good Friday is 18 April and Palm Sunday is 13 April. The famous Semana Santa processions in Seville, Málaga, and other Andalusian cities take place during the week of 14–18 April.
Is Epiphany (6 January) favourable in Spain in 2025?
Yes — Epiphany falls on a Monday in 2025, giving an automatic three-day weekend. Cabalgata de Reyes parades take place on Sunday 5 January, and the Monday holiday means families have a full day to celebrate the arrival of the Three Kings.
Does Labour Day create a long weekend in Spain in 2025?
Yes — Labour Day (1 May) falls on a Thursday in 2025. Taking Friday 2 May as annual leave creates a four-day weekend — a solid Puente (bridge day) opportunity.
Is the Immaculate Conception (8 December) favourable in 2025?
Yes — 8 December falls on a Monday in 2025, giving an automatic three-day weekend. This is a welcome placement in a December where Constitution Day (6 December) falls on a Saturday.
What is a "Puente" in Spanish holiday culture?
A Puente (literally "bridge") is the Spanish term for taking an extra day of annual leave to bridge between a public holiday and a weekend — creating a longer break. When a public holiday falls on a Thursday, Spaniards often take the Friday as leave (making a Puente) to get a four-day weekend. Puente planning is a deeply embedded part of Spanish work culture.
