Steps
- Find the local holidays
The official source lists 18 February (Ash Wednesday) and 11 July (San Bieito) as the local holidays for 2026. - Add the regional holidays
The Xunta’s notice says Galicia’s 2026 regional calendar (Decreto 46/2025) includes 6 January, 2 April (Holy Thursday), 19 March and 24 June (replacing days that fall on Sunday) and 25 July (Galicia Day), plus the national holidays such as 1 January, Good Friday, 1 May, 15 August, 12 October, 8 December and 25 December. - Check when shops may open
No official page listing the Sundays and holidays when shops may open was read for this city; check the regional commerce department before planning around it. - 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.
