Bridge day check
Falls on the weekend, so it costs most people no leave — and in many countries no day is given back.
What the day is for
Falls at the height of the August fiesta season and coincides with major local festivals, including Elche's Misteri and the Semana Grande in Bilbao and San Sebastián.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks and most shops close; coastal and festival towns run at full tilt.
Getting around
Peak summer road traffic, particularly towards the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
