Salamanca public holidays and shop opening days (2026)

Salamanca’s two local holidays for 2026 are 12 June and 8 September, 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 University of Salamanca’s resolution of 12 January 2026 on non-working days lists 12 June and 8 September as local holidays in the city of Salamanca.
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.
