Public holidays in Asturias, 2026 and 2027 (with Oviedo and Avilés local days)
Asturias has 12 regional and national public holidays a year, including its own Día de Asturias on 8 September, and each council adds two local days: Oviedo keeps Martes de Campo and San Mateo, Avilés keeps Easter Monday and San Agustín.
- Why it matters
- Offices, schools, banks and many shops close on these days, so appointments and errands need to avoid them; local days differ from one council to the next even within Asturias.
- When
- You are planning appointments, work, school or errands, or you commute between Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés, which have different local holidays.
- How long it takes
- The national and regional list for the next year is published in the BOE in October; the Principado approves each year’s local holiday calendar in the BOPA around May-June of the year before.
- Last checked
- 20 Oct 2026
Cost: Free
What you need
- Public holidays in Spain are paid and non-recoverable; there are at most 14 a year, two of which are local (BOE Resolución de 8 de octubre de 2026, citing Estatuto de los Trabajadores art. 37.2).

Tips

- Easter dates move every year, so Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Avilés’s Easter Monday change date.
