After Easter, the last dates in which all of Spain enjoyed holidays, many go to check the calendar to find out if there are any days left that do not have to work before the start of the summer holidays. Fortunately, you only have to wait for the entry of the month of May.
The next national holiday in 2023 is May 1, Labor Day, which falls on a Monday. That day is a holiday in all the autonomous communities, being the third holiday of the eight non-replaceable holidays of the year after January 6 (Epiphany of the Lord) and April 7 (Good Friday).
After Monday, May 1, International Workers’ or Labor Day, a day marked by protests and labor and social demands throughout the world, we have to wait until Thursday, August 15 (Asunción de la Virgen) to enjoy the following holiday across the country.
Tuesday, May 2, 2023 is also a holiday in the Community of Madrid. It is only a holiday in that region, which commemorates the Dos de Mayo of 1808, in which the War of Independence against the Napoleonic invaders began,
Thus, in the Community of Madrid, up to four non-working days come together: the weekend of April 29 and 30, the holiday of Monday, May 1, and the holidays of May 2 (Tuesday). It is the only Spanish region that enjoys this particular four-day May bridge.
