The month of June arrives marked by high temperatures and the final stretch of the school year, but also by several regional holidays that will allow thousands of Spaniards to enjoy additional days off before summer.
The 2026 labor calendar includes three key dates: June 4, 9, and 24, on which different autonomous communities will celebrate their own holidays linked to religious traditions or institutional events.
In some cases, the placement of these holidays on the calendar will even facilitate the creation of multi-day long weekends.
Castilla-La Mancha opens the calendar with Corpus Christi
The first date will arrive on Thursday, June 4, when Castilla-La Mancha will celebrate Corpus Christi, one of the most deeply rooted religious festivals in the community.
The date commemorates the institution of the Eucharist within the Catholic tradition and is celebrated sixty days after Easter Sunday. Although it ceased to be a national holiday years ago, Castilla-La Mancha maintains this day as a regional holiday, especially relevant in cities like Toledo.
Falling on a Thursday, those who can also take Friday the 5th off will be able to enjoy a five-day long weekend.
La Rioja and Murcia celebrate their statutes of autonomy
Tuesday, June 9 will be a holiday in La Rioja and the Region of Murcia, which commemorate the approval of their respective Statutes of Autonomy of 1982.
In both communities, institutional events, cultural activities, and popular events are organized to celebrate the anniversary.
The holiday falling on a Tuesday will allow those who have Monday off to enjoy a long weekend.
Sant Joan will headline the last holiday of the month
The last regional holiday of June will arrive on Wednesday, June 24 with the celebration of Sant Joan in Catalunya, the Comunitat Valenciana, and Galicia.
The festival commemorates the birth of Saint John the Baptist and coincides with traditional celebrations linked to the start of summer.
Although this year it falls on a Wednesday and will not allow for a long weekend, it remains one of the most popular holidays on the calendar.
In Catalunya, the Sant Joan's Eve celebration continues to be one of the most emblematic celebrations of the year, accompanied by traditions such as the coca de Sant Joan, fireworks, and bonfires. In the Comunitat Valenciana and Galicia, bonfires also maintain a strong cultural root.
Upcoming national holidays
After the June holidays, the national labor calendar still includes several non-working days until the end of the year:
- August 15: Assumption of the Virgin.
- October 12: National Day of Spain.
- November 1: All Saints' Day.
- December 8: Immaculate Conception.
- December 25: Christmas.
June will thus offer three great opportunities for rest in six autonomous communities, just before the arrival of the summer holidays.
