The State Calendar of Spain contains 14 holidays, including both mandatory and regional festive days. Official holidays in Spain are not unified and have local festive days for each autonomous region of the country.


Spain consists of 17 autonomous regions (provinces), each with its own traditions, cuisine, music, and other cultural values, as well as its regional (local) holidays or festivals (as they are commonly called in Spain), in addition to national and religious Catholic holidays.
