Holidays
Spanien har delat in sina helgdagar i nationella, regionala och lokala. Så en helgdag kan se olika ut i olika delar av landet. Helgdagar är speciella dagar där alla är lediga, medan högtidsdagar är traditionella firanden och evenemang som är populära i ett speciellt land utan röd dag-status.
