Spain's national feast days are the same every year, although national public holidays may change according to whether the feast day falls on a Sunday or not. Also, each Autonomous Community may also choose either Father's Day (March 19th) or Maundy Thursday (the Thursday before Easter) as a public holiday, as well as celebrating one "Community Day", which the Autonomous Community of Madrid celebrates on the 2nd of May. Furthermore, each town or city has its own feast days to commemorate its patron Saints. In the city of Madrid these are 15th May (San Isidro) and 9th November (Almudena), although the holidays may be changed if these dates fall on a Sunday. Note that Easter is a "movable" feast, celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the Spring equinox of March 21st. Good friday is always a bank holiday, Easter Monday is not.

In general, public holidays are as follows.
