Please take note of the information below. If you or a family member is studying at one of the best international schools in Spain, it might be useful to know about the school holidays in Spain. The holidays are determined by the regional autonomous communities and are not the same throughout the country. However, the differences for the main holidays are usually not significant and take place within a specific time frame. Unlike many European countries, there are no half-term weeks off. Therefore, it is advisable to check your child’s school holiday calendar if they attend an international school.
It’s important to remember that when a national holiday is not mentioned in the list below, it means that the holiday falls on a weekend or it’s included in a school break period (for example, Immaculate Conception, St. Stephen’s Day, Maundy Thursday).
