All Saints’ Day, Día de Todos los Santos, falls on Saturday, 1st November this year, so there isn’t an extra day tacked onto the weekend. Sadly, Monday, 3rd November, is a normal working day across Spain. However, some regions have marked it as a non‑teaching day, so schools close and plenty of families stretch it into a long weekend.
Where schools are closed on Monday, 3rd November
Monday, 3rd November, is a non‑teaching day on Spain’s school holiday calendar in Comunidad de Madrid, Galicia, Aragón and Asturias. In Andalucía, it’s down on the academic calendar in several provinces, including Córdoba, Granada and Almería. It isn’t a general bank holiday, so most offices, shops, museums and public services operate as usual on the Monday.
The four-day school weekend
A few places even enjoy a proper long break. In Almería and Guadalajara, schools close on Friday, 31st October and Monday, 3rd November, giving families a neat four‑day window. It’s a handy breather between the late‑summer rush and the run‑up to Christmas, and you’ll likely feel it in the local rhythm where those closures apply.
What this means and what stays open
For workers outside the education sector, it’s business as usual. Saturday 1st November follows typical weekend patterns, while Monday 3rd November runs like a standard weekday across most of the country.
In the city of Madrid, though, Monday 10th November will be a municipal bank holiday because the feast of Nuestra Señora de la Almudena, the city’s patron, falls on Sunday 9th November and is observed on the Monday.
The bigger chances of a classic puente come later: Constitution Day on 6th December and the Immaculate Conception on 8th December often line up in a way that encourages extended breaks, depending on regional and workplace policies.
