Public holidays in Tenerife, in 2009, are the following:
- 1 January, Año Nuevo (New Year's Day)
- 6 January, Epifanía del Señor (Epiphany / Three Kings Day)
- 2 February, Virgen de la Candelaria (Candlemas)
- 9 April, Jueves Santo (Easter Thursday)
- 10 April, Viernes Santo (Good Friday)
- 1 May, Fiesta del Trabajo (Labour Day)
- 30 May, Día de Canarias (Canaries Day)
- 15 August, Asunción de la Virgen (Assumption of the Virgin)
- 12 October, Fiesta Nacional de España (National Day of Spain)
- 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.
[1] That alone makes public holidays in Spain a different from Bank Holidays in the UK, where "There is no automatic right to time off on these days."
