Madrid sets public holidays for its 2027 work calendar
The Comunidad de Madrid has approved the twelve public holidays for 2027, to which each municipality will add two local dates to complete the work calendar.
The 2027 work calendar already has its main dates set in the Comunidad de Madrid. The regional government has approved twelve public holidays, which will be completed by two more set by each local council, making a total of fourteen.
San José will be a holiday on Friday, 19 March, exactly one week before Viernes Santo. Later in the year, moving the Assumption to Monday, 16 August will allow for a long weekend, as will Todos los Santos and Constitution Day. 2 May will remain a regional holiday, even though it falls on a Sunday and will not be moved to another day.
Dates to organise the year
1 January, Friday: New Year’s Day.
6 January, Wednesday: Epiphany.
19 March, Friday: San José.
25 March, Thursday: Jueves Santo.
26 March, Friday: Viernes Santo.

The choice of the two municipal holidays will complete each locality’s calendar. Therefore, before planning a getaway, it is advisable to also check the dates for the municipality where you work.
