Easter Monday, which follows Easter Sunday within Holy Week, is not a national holiday. This implies that each autonomous community decides whether or not to include it within its annual work calendar. As a result, this Monday is only a holiday in certain territories of the country.
In 2026, this April 6 is a non-working day in:
- Valencian Community
- Catalonia
- Castile-La Mancha
- La Rioja
- Navarre
- Basque Country
- Balearic Islands
In these communities, the day is experienced as an extension of the Holy Week celebrations. On the contrary, in other regions such as Madrid, Andalusia, Galicia or Castile and Leon, today is an ordinary working day.
DAY OF TRADITION
Easter Monday has a special cultural relevance in the territories where it is celebrated. In the Valencian Community, for example, it is common to go out to the countryside to eat the traditional Easter mona, a deeply rooted custom that combines gastronomy and social coexistence. In Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, similar traditions are also maintained, with family gatherings and typical activities for these dates.
