Next Friday, July 25, 2025, Santiago Apóstol, Patron de Santiago, is celebrated Spain and a date marked by its religious, historical and cultural weight. However, it will not be holiday throughout the country. And although many Spaniards will be enjoying their summer vacations, others will receive this day as a bridge -shaped gift.
Each autonomous community decides if it includes it in its labor calendar, and in Aragon It is not festive, so you will work normally. While in other regions the day is presented as an opportunity to bridge and escape the heat, in Saragossa, Huesca and Teruel It will be a working Friday like any other. Neither the regional calendar nor the premises of the capitals have marked this date as a festive, so those who are not on vacation will have to wait for the patron saint and the next official holiday.
