Is it a public holiday tomorrow, 2 November? Nine regions extend the All Saints' long weekend
Published
Monday 2 November will be a public holiday in nine of Spain's autonomous communities. Andalusia, Madrid and the Canary Islands are among those that will have the day off, along with six other regions. In this way, the All Saints' long weekend is extended in these territories.
In the rest of Spain, 2 November does not appear as a public holiday in the official calendar. This is because each autonomous community decides on some of its public holidays every year. That is why, on the same day, there can be differences from one region to another.
The All Saints' holiday is celebrated every year on 1 November, and this year it falls on a Sunday. For this reason, some communities have decided to move the rest day to the following Monday. As a result, workers in those regions have a longer weekend.
If you live or work in Spain and have doubts, the best thing to do is to check your autonomous community's employment calendar. There you will find the official list of public holidays. It is also advisable to check whether your company applies any different rules.
