Cuenca public holidays and shop opening days (2026 and 2027)

Cuenca’s two local holidays are 1 June and 21 September (2026), as the regional gazette notice lists them, and the region sets which Sundays and holidays shops may open.

Why it matters

Local holidays close offices, schools and many shops, and they move administrative deadlines.

When

You are planning appointments, errands or travel around holidays.

Steps

1. Find the local holidays
   The notice in the regional gazette (DOCM, 12 December 2025) lists Cuenca with 1 June and 21 September for 2026.
2. Add the regional holidays
   The Junta de Castilla-La Mancha lists these regional holidays for 2026: 1 and 6 January, 2, 3 and 6 April, 1 May, 4 June (Corpus Christi, in place of 6 December), 15 August, 12 October, 2 November (in place of 1 November), 8 December and 25 December.
3. Check when shops may open
   Order 147/2025 of the regional economy department (DOCM, 17 October 2025) lists 12 Sundays and holidays when shops may open in 2026: 4 and 11 January, 2 and 6 April, 28 June, 15 August, 12 October, 29 November, 6 December, and 13, 20 and 27 December.
4. Plan around closures
   Local holidays are paid, non-recoverable days off for workers and count as non-working days for administrative deadlines, so offices may be closed and deadlines can move; check the office’s own page.
