Spanish holidays that affect cross-border plans
Spain's holidays are different from Gibraltar's. If you are crossing to La Línea or travelling in Andalucía, the remaining Spanish holidays in 2026 are:
- Spain's National Day: Monday 12 October
- All Saints' Day: Monday 2 November (moved from Sunday 1 November)
- Constitution Day: Monday 7 December (moved from Sunday 6 December)
- Immaculate Conception: Tuesday 8 December
- Christmas Day: Friday 25 December
Many shops and offices in Spain close on these days. Each Spanish town also sets two local holidays of its own.
