Spain is set to observe a public holiday on November 2, 2026, in nine of its 17 autonomous communities, granting residents a three-day weekend.

The reason for this variation lies in the celebration of All Saints' Day, which falls on November 1 and is observed on the following Monday in certain regions. This decision is based on Spain's system of national, regional, and local public holidays, where autonomous communities can choose to have specific public holidays. For residents in the Valencian Community, Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, and some other areas, it will be a regular workday on November 2.
