- 2024 work calendar in Galicia: these are the holidays and bridges of the year
- 2024 work calendar in Andalusia: holidays and long weekends of the year
The holidays and bridges for next year 2024 in Extremadura are already known, so the inhabitants of this autonomous community can plan their trips and vacations in the long term, if they wish to do so with anticipation. The Governing Council of the Junta de Extremadura set these days by decree, which amount to twelve. In addition, there will be two other holidays to be determined, which will be local depending on what has been agreed with each city council.. In this way, the 14 annual holidays contemplated by Spanish regulations will be reached.
It should be noted that, as the Day of the Immaculate Conception (December 8) falls on a Sunday, this holiday is moved to Monday 9, in use of article 37.2 of the Workers' Statute, which allows the holidays that occur to be transferred in this way on a sunday. For this reason, the people of Extremadura will enjoy a four-day bridge in December, since the Day of the Spanish Constitution will be on Friday, December 6.
In addition, there is another holiday that falls on a Sunday: Extremadura Day (September 8). In this case, and instead of also moving it to the following Monday, it has been preferred to replace it with a break for Shrove Tuesday, February 13.
