Hi,
Somewhat related to #594, I've noticed that for Spain, the holiday of the 25th of July (Santiago Apóstol) is incorrectly configured, as it's being reported as a holiday in 2026 for regions where it's actually not a holiday:
More specifically:
- It's not a holiday in Madrid or Navarra
- It's a holiday in Pais Vasco (this is OK) and Galicia (has another holiday named "Día Nacional de Galicia" on the same date, it's pretty much the same festivity as Santiago is kind of the patron of the region).
Some sources:
The trick is that there are some holidays that are replaceable / optional, which means, initially they are national but regions can choose to either keep them or have them be a regular working day and pick another date traditional from the region instead. In the past, some of these alternative, more traditional, regional holidays were likely Sundays and these regions decided to keep the national one instead, but its a year by year decision and for example in 2026 these 2 regions have chosen other dates.
From the last link above, which explains it a bit better than the raw law (AI translated):
The other three nationwide public holidays are optional, meaning they can be replaced by the autonomous communities: January 6; Holy Thursday (which in 2026 will be observed on April 2); and the regions are given the option to choose between March 19 (Saint Joseph’s Day) and July 25 (Saint James the Apostle).
Thanks!
