Ávila public holidays and shop opening days (2026)

Ávila’s two local holidays for 2026 are 2 May and 15 October, as the official source 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.

Steps

1. Find the local holidays
   The Boletín Oficial de la Provincia de Ávila of 26 September 2025 (Oficina Territorial de Trabajo) lists 2 May (San Segundo) and 15 October (Santa Teresa de Jesús) as the local holidays for Ávila in 2026.
2. Add the regional holidays
   Castilla y León’s 2026 work holidays under Decreto 9/2025 are: 1 and 6 January; 2 and 3 April; 23 April; 1 May; 15 August; 12 October; 2 November (moved from 1 November); 7 December (moved from 6 December); 8 December; 25 December. The 2027 calendar was not read for this card.
3. Check when shops may open
   The Junta’s commerce page, citing Orden IEM/1132/2025 of 8 October, lists these days when shops may open in 2026: 4 and 11 January, 2 April, 28 June, 5 July, 15 August, and 8, 13, 20 and 27 December.
4. Plan around closures
   Local holidays are paid, non-recoverable days off for workers, so offices and many shops may be closed; check the office’s own page before booking.
