Spain's 2029 public holiday calendar has several key fixed dates falling on weekends. Epiphany (6 January) is a Saturday — the Cabalgata de Reyes parades take place on Friday evening 5 January, but the public holiday provides no weekday benefit. Spain's National Day (12 October) is also a Saturday — the military parade takes place but workers receive no extra day off.
Easter Sunday is 1 April 2029. Good Friday is 30 March. Semana Santa processions fall in the last week of March — an early Holy Week with processions in Seville and Málaga taking place from 24–30 March.
Labour Day (1 May) falls on a Tuesday — taking Monday 30 April as leave creates a four-day Puente. Constitution Day (6 December) falls on a Friday — automatic three-day weekend, and the year's strongest fixed-date placement. The Immaculate Conception (8 December) is a Sunday — absorbed into the weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is Semana Santa in Spain in 2029?
Semana Santa falls in the last week of March 2029. Easter Sunday is 1 April, so Good Friday is 30 March and Palm Sunday is 24 March. The Semana Santa processions take place from 24–30 March — an early Holy Week with cooler temperatures than typical April celebrations.
Does Epiphany create a long weekend in Spain in 2029?
No — Epiphany (6 January) falls on a Saturday in 2029. Cabalgata de Reyes parades take place on Friday evening 5 January, but the Saturday public holiday provides no weekday benefit. The Christmas school break will have already ended by this point in most regions.
Is Constitution Day (6 December) favourable in 2029?
Yes — Constitution Day falls on a Friday in 2029, giving an automatic three-day weekend. This is the year's best fixed-date public holiday placement, particularly as National Day (12 October) and Epiphany both fall on weekends.
Does Labour Day create a Puente in Spain in 2029?
Yes — Labour Day (1 May) falls on a Tuesday in 2029. Taking Monday 30 April as annual leave creates a four-day Puente from Saturday 28 April to Tuesday 1 May.
What should Spanish workers know about the 2029 holiday calendar?
2029 is a challenging year for Spain's public holidays, with Epiphany, National Day, and the Immaculate Conception all falling on weekends. Constitution Day (6 December, Friday) is the strongest weekday placement. Workers should plan annual leave strategically around the few available Puente opportunities.
