Tue 1st Nov 2022
November 1 is a Public Holiday in Spain but why is the day after Haloween a Public Holiday?
Nov 1st is the Day of All the Saints ( el Dia de Todos los Santos) so it's a bank holiday for the whole country.
Shops banks and supermarkets will be Closed. Most bars and restaurants will be Open
Because it falls on a Tuesday this year some spanish regions will also close schools and businesses on the Monday too.
On All Saints Day in Spain, some families take the oppurtunity to visit cemeteries where their ancestors and loved ones are buried.
As a family they then clean the graves, leave flowers, and light candles and take time to remember their dearly departed.

Schools, colleges and universities will also be closed on Monday 31st October as they make it into a "puente" (bridge) long weekend.
Thousands of workers tend to take the Monday off too for the same reason.

author: Why are December 6th and 8th public holidays in Spain?
They are non-replaceable national holidays, meaning that regional governments cannot swap them for other days, which essentially guarantees that they’re public holidays
across the country’s 17 regions and two autonomous cities.
That also explains why most shops in Spain will be closed on those days.
December 6th – Constitution Day
On December 6th 1978, millions of Spaniards voted in favour of the country’s first democratic constitution during a referendum, the culmination of Spain’s transition to
democracy after decades under Franco’s dictatorship. The magna carta was checked by Nobel laureate Camilo José Cela and it’s one of Europe’s least reformed constitutions,
having only been changed on a couple of occasions in its history. Since 1983, every December 6th has been a public holiday in the country.
There are no big air shows or military parades as during Spain’s National Day on October 12th, but people in Spain’s capital can visit the Spanish Parliament and Senate for free on
El Día de la Constitución.
December 8th – Immaculate Conception Day
As you may have guessed from the name, Spain’s el Día de la Inmaculada Concepción (Immaculate Conception Day) is a public holiday with religious origins.
The origin of this celebration can be traced back to the mid-19th century and Pope Pius XI, who wanted to commemorate the birth of the Virgin Mary.
According to the Catholic Church, La Virgen María was born on September 8th, therefore they subtracted nine months to make the day of her
immaculate conception December 8th.
