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

Vigo’s two local holidays are 28 March (Reconquista) and 17 August in 2026, 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 28 March (Reconquista) and 17 August in 2026.
2. Check when shops may open
   The Xunta’s order of 18 September 2025 (DOG 189, 1 October 2025) authorizes shop opening on 4 and 11 January, 2 April, 26 July, 15 August, 29 November and 6, 13, 20 and 27 December 2026; a council may ask to change two of those dates.
3. 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.
