Like every nation, spaniards love to celebrate. But not many holidays make all offices close. Here is the list of national holidays:
New Year’s Day, Epiphany (Jan. 6), Maundy Thursday (Mar. 27), Good Friday (Mar. 28), May Day (May 1), Feast of the Assumption (Aug. 15), National Day (Oct. 12), All Saints Day (Nov. 1), Constitution Day (Dec. 6), Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8), Christmas.
In true Spanish style, cultural events are almost inevitably celebrated with a wild party and a holiday. Among the festivals to look out for in Seville are Semana Santa (Holy Week) is the week leading up to Easter Sunday with parades of holy images through the streets; In late April the Feria de Abril in Seville is a week-long party counterbalancing the religious fervour of Semana Santa.
