Public holidays 2011 in Spain

On this page you will find the Public holidays 2012 in Spain

Please note that the Ascension Day and Whit Monday (but in Catalonia) are not public holidays in Spain. Except for Madrid, the purely local public holidays are not indexed below. There are two or three of them in each city or village, which isn't so much, but if you travel, you probably can spend the year in public holidays…
