The work calendar of 2027 already allows planning the days off for the next year. The national holidays, the celebrations specific to each autonomous community, and the two local holidays set by each municipality will determine when it will be possible to enjoy long weekends and bridges.
Among the most notable dates are Friday, March 26, Good Friday; Monday, November 1, All Saints, and Monday, December 6, Constitution Day. In addition, the coincidence of the Day of the Immaculate Conception with Wednesday, December 8, will allow linking several days off for those who can take Tuesday, December 7, off.
Holy Week will also offer different possibilities depending on the territory. Holy Thursday, which falls on March 25 in 2027, will be a holiday in most communities, while Easter Monday, March 29, will be celebrated in six autonomous communities.
The calendar is completed with the autonomous and local holidays, which explain the differences between territories. To organize vacations and getaways, it is advisable to consult both the general holidays and those approved by each community and municipality.

The calendar also includes holidays specific to each territory. In addition, there are the two local days that municipalities are to set, so the number and distribution of non-working days may vary between municipalities.
To consult the specific days off, it is important to distinguish between the state calendar and the definitive work calendar of each community and locality.
Autonomous holidays of 2027: Saint Joseph, Holy Thursday and Easter Monday
The autonomous calendar introduces important differences in March:
- The Thursday, March 25, Holy Thursday, will be a holiday throughout the territory except in Catalonia and the Valencian Community, according to the dates included in the reference text.
- The Friday, March 19, Saint Joseph, will be a holiday in Galicia, Community of Madrid, Region of Murcia, Navarre and Valencian Community.
- The Monday, March 29, Easter Monday, will be a holiday in the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, Navarre, Basque Country, Valencian Community and La Rioja. In these territories, the combination with the weekend and the previous holidays will allow for an extended Easter break.
August will also have territorial differences. As the Assumption of the Virgin falls on a Sunday, Monday, August 16 will be a non-working day in Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Canary Islands, Castile and León and Community of Madrid, according to the provided calendar.
Bridges of 2027: when there will be long weekends
The year will offer several opportunities to link holidays with the weekend. Friday, January 1 will allow starting the year with three consecutive days off for those who do not work during the weekend. The same situation will repeat on March 26, Good Friday.
In autumn, Monday, November 1, All Saints, will lead to another long weekend. Monday, December 6, Constitution Day, will allow enjoying three consecutive days off before the Immaculate Conception, which will be celebrated on Wednesday, the 8th.
The December bridge will be especially interesting for those who can take off Tuesday, the 7th. In that case, they will be able to link the weekend with the holidays of Monday, the 6th and Wednesday, the 8th, which would allow for five consecutive days off.
Easter will offer additional options. In the communities that celebrate both Holy Thursday and Good Friday, the break can be extended for four days, from Thursday, March 25 to Sunday, March 28. In the Balearic Islands, Navarre, Basque Country and La Rioja, the holiday on Monday, the 29th will allow extending it to five consecutive days.
State and autonomous dates are not enough to know all the non-working days of a municipality. Each municipality must set two local holidays, which are incorporated into the labor calendar of 2027 and can modify the rest options for its residents.
