On 29 December 2021 the Official Bulletin of the Canary Islands (BOC Nº 267) published ORDER 5402 of December 22, 2021, which finally determined the local holidays for each municipality of the Canary Islands for the year 2022 (nothing like last minute, eh?) There are two days in each of the 31 municipalities, which added to the 12 public holidays decided at a national, regional and island-wide level, add up to the 14 days annual public holidays decreed by law. As in previous years, many districts have still opted for Carnival Tuesday (Shrove Tuesday), 1 March 2022, as a holiday, even though Carnival 2022 was postponed to June.
