What are the holidays of Spain

Spain is one of the countries with the most holidays, since it has: national festivities, which are those celebrated throughout the state; parties of each Autonomous Community, such as the Day of each region or other celebrations; and local parties, which each municipality chooses when they take place. In this way, the labor and holiday calendar does not coincide for the entire Spanish territory, but each Autonomous Community and each locality sets its own.
