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

València’s two local holidays are 22 January (San Vicente Mártir) and 13 April (San Vicente Ferrer) in 2026; 22 January and 5 April in 2027, as the official page 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 official page lists 22 January (San Vicente Mártir) and 13 April (San Vicente Ferrer) in 2026; 22 January and 5 April in 2027.
2. Add the regional holidays
   The València council approved the 2027 dates on its page dated 23 July 2026.
3. Check when shops may open
   The Generalitat Valenciana’s page lists 11 dates for 2026 when shops may open: 4 and 11 January, 3 and 5 April, 5 July, 15 August, 12 October, 29 November and 13, 20 and 27 December, with free hours on those dates; councils may change the calendar if at least 11 remain.
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.
