  • 7 December, (in lieu) Día de la Constitución (Constitution Day)
  • 8 December, Inmaculada Concepción (Immaculate Conception)
  • 25 December, Natividad del Señor (Christmas Day)
And as well as these 12 days established by law [1], there are also a further 2 days given each year as local holidays, which differ from one district to the next.
